Hola Familia!
Thank you for your continued support this first semester. We have appreciated your participation and engagement with our campus events and parent/ teacher conferences. I am confident that we will continue to grow as partners in support of your child's education!
While your children are on Winter Break, please continue to have them read 20 minutes a day. This is a great opportunity for families to have some quiet time and then talk about the books they are reading! For other tips on how to help your students with reading and math over the break, please contact your child's teacher.
On behalf of Highland Hills Elementary, we wish you a safe, restful, and joyous holiday season!
Love,
Ms. Cartwright
Principal, Highland Hills Elementary

The week of December 4 students will be completing their Middle of the year MAP assessment.This data will help provide teachers with information to guide their instruction that is tailored to their students needs. As we prepare for a great testing week, ensure your child gets enough rest. It is essential that students come to school everyday promptly. We appreciate your partnership with Highland Hills in serving our students.

2nd - 5th grade
Thank you families for supporting students with their homework and by listening to them each night for 20 mins. It is important your child reads daily to improve their comprehension skills! We have just completed 6 weeks of instruction. For 2nd - 5th grade, please be on the lookout for your child’s Progress Report by Dec. 8th. For any questions about your child’s grades, please contact his/her teacher.
Our teachers have been working hard all year and we are THANKFUL for them! If you would like to show your appreciation for your child’s teacher, please feel free to send them a little gift/ treat the week of December 11th. I will be sending home a sheet with their “Favorites” via email, so that you have some ideas of what they like. This is not required, but a great way to show our appreciation for all they do every day!
Class Parties will be held on Friday, Dec. 15th, so be sure your child is at school to participate in the fun!
