PREPARE FOR COLD WEATHER
Be sure your child is dressed appropriately for being outside during cold weather. We will be outside for drop-off, recess and pick-up unless the temperature is below 15 degrees Fahrenheit.
Students must have snow pants to play in the snow. Without snow pants they will have to stay on the concrete.
Careful driving is required during inclement weather. We see all kinds of unsafe driving moves whenever there is rain or poor weather. Please pay extra attention--better for someone to get a bit wet than to cause an accident.
HIGHLAND’S FAMILY MATH NIGHT
Thursday, February 8th 6:00-7:30 p.m.
All Highland families are invited to this fun, free-event! Join in the math activities, games and resources with your Highland student. We are looking forward to seeing you!
WINTER WONDERLAND DANCE TONIGHT!
The more Highland families the merrier for tonight's Winter Wonderland Family Dance from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The event is FREE, and is a great way to spend a Friday night!
The Highland PTA will also be selling Highland Spirit Wear, 50/50 Raffle tickets and Nothing Bundt Cakes.
HIGHLAND DRIVEWAY AND PARKING LOT IS ONE-WAY
Highland Elementary School's driveway/parking lot is ONE WAY from north to south, and the entrance is on Noyes Street. DO NOT enter from Payne Street!
Driving the wrong way not only creates a hazard for yourself and other drivers, but it is also dangerous and people could get seriously injured.
HIGHLAND’S PARENT CHILD BOOK CHAT
Families of 3rd-5th grade students are invited to join Highland Elementary School’s Parent Child Book Chat. Each family that signs up will receive a copy of the book, and the student and adult family member are to read the book on their own at home. Then on Book Chat night we will discuss the book and eat snacks in the Highland Library from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
