1. After following increased demand for several years, we have opened an additional Preschool Class located in the Spencer Center giving us 40 fabulous preschoolers! Miss Elizabeth has decorated the new room beautifully, and we are excited about welcoming more children on campus!
2. Twitter and Facebook are two ways of sharing information, connecting, and interacting with our families and fans. Become a “fan” or “follower” today!
3. We have reworked our website and have opened the classroom pages. Look in backpack mail for login information.
4. New teachers have come our way with impressive education, teaching experience, and hobbies. We welcome these new faces to Highlands!
5. You will notice Stacey Heughan in preschool in the mornings and in the office in the afternoon. She will be answering the phone, applying Band-Aids, and helping with various tasks in the office. She is a woman of many talents, and we are excited that she is sharing many of them with us!
6. We also welcome many faculty and staff children on campus – both in the Family Center and in the School.
7. All teachers are now using multi-platform laptops just two years after setting this goal.
8. Please see the new Discipline Policy. We give special thanks to Shelby Hammer and Amy Mendel, a faculty committee and a parent focus group who worked on the policy last spring.
9. Highlands School is getting greener! Take note of the raised garden beside the greenhouse. This outdoor learning area will be used by a variety of students of all ages. We send a big green thank you to Randy McDonald for designing and overseeing the construction of the garden.
10. Let’s all give Amy Han a big “Ni Hao” as she begins her year at Highlands School. Amy will be teaching Chinese to all of our students and is with us through the China Connection program sponsored by NAIS and Hanban.
