Hola HHE Familia!
I hope you all are staying safe and warm during this cold weather blast! As we head into this quarter, we are asking for your continued support. In order for your child to be successful, practice skills and learn new material, they must be in school on time, everyday. We appreciate your support with your child's attendance.
We also will need your support with daily homework and reading 20 minutes a day. This extra practice allows your child to be successful during their daily lessons. If you have questions about homework, please contact your child's teacher. We believe in your children and together we will see them shine!
Love,
Ms. Cartwright
Principal, Highland Hills Elementary

Attendance
We are in for some chilly weather over the holiday weekend. This is the time of year for colds and the flu. We do not want to experience a drop in attendance along with a drop in weather temperature. Showing up on time every day is an important part of your child’s success. Our high-quality programs will benefit your child, and your child will develop habits and routines that will grow with him/her. Here are some ideas to help your child get to school.
Set a regular bedtime and morning routine
Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
Schedule extended trips when school is not in session. Schedule medical appointments after 10 AM or after school.
Nos espera un clima frío durante el fin de semana festivo. Esta es la época del año de los resfriados y la gripe. No queremos experimentar una caída en la asistencia junto con una caída en la temperatura del clima. Llegar a tiempo todos los días es una parte importante del éxito de su hijo. Nuestros programas de alta calidad beneficiarán a su hijo y éste desarrollará hábitos y rutinas que crecerán con él. A continuación se ofrecen algunas ideas para ayudar a su hijo a llegar a la escuela.
Establezca una rutina regular para la hora de acostarse y la mañana
Prepara la ropa y empaca las mochilas la noche anterior.
Programe viajes prolongados cuando no haya clases. Programe citas médicas después de las 10 a. m. o después de la escuela.
