We are starting Character Strong this year. Character Strong is a Social Emotional Learning Curriculum. The elementary version of this is PurposeFULL People.

This year Heights Elementary is implementing a social emotional curriculum called Character Strong. The elementary version of this curriculum is PurposeFULL People.

Our parent pick-up has changed a bit this year. Please be patient and follow the lead of Heights Staff.

1. When dropping off students, please pull forward as directed by Heights Staff. Students will go straight to the playground until 8:05am. At that time, they will line up to go to class.

2. Class starts at 8:10am.

Please read carefully!

1. Due to the amount of traffic, No turning East on Miller Ave.

2. Please drive WEST on Miller Ave. and turn into the Heights parking lot.

3. Pull forward as directed by the Heights Staff.

4. Hang your student pick-up name tag.

5. Staff will not allow students to enter a car until it has come to a complete stop!

Remember your student's safety is our first priority. Please follow the directions of staff and be courteous to other drivers.

1. Hang your student pick-up name tag to be visible to staff. Until staff recognizes your car, please have this visible.

2. If possible, park down Miller Ave. and have your student walk to your location.

3. Pick-up students at 2:45pm. By coming 10 minutes later, you will miss most of the traffic.

4. Have students ride the bus.
