Heights Highlights
May 2024
Dear Families,
All of a sudden, we are in the last month of the school year! Today we wrap up state testing with the science OST. For the past two weeks, our students have done a tremendous job of taking their time, jotting notes, and giving their best effort on the test. May brings a TON of culminating activities, celebrations, and trips. Be sure to make note of our Important Dates so you and your Pioneer can take advantage of all the great things happening this month. Like always, reach out with any questions!
Sincerely,
Jake Keefe and Dana Cerrito

Cell Phones and Attire
Hoodies, and similar tops or jackets with hoods, are "fan favorites" when it comes to school attire. We like them, too, but not when they are worn up and over the head during the school day.
The district's Student Code of Conduct provides direction on headgear, stating that it may not be worn over a person's head or scalp (excluding headgear that's worn for religious or medical reasons.) Hoods can make it difficult to identify an individual in an emergency, and they can also be a distraction in class. Please remind students that hoods may not be worn up during the school day.
The Student Code of Conduct also offers guidance on attire. Clothing must be school appropriate and may not present a health or safety hazard or disrupt the educational environment. Pants and tops must fit properly and be in good repair; crop tops are not permitted.
Additionally, footwear must be school appropriate--slippers and slipper socks are not permitted. Blankets also may not be worn in school.
Students may bring their cell phones to school but they must be turned off and put away during the day unless they are used as a part of a teacher-directed lesson in class. Same rules apply to Bluetooth headphones--they may not be worn during the school day.
If you need to reach your student during the school day, please contact the main office and our staff will convey a message or assist you in reaching your student.
