WHO WILL MY CHILD’S TEACHER BE THIS YEAR?
Kindergarten & Grades 1-5
On Friday, August 7th (after 6pm), Highland will send out connect ed phone calls to all parents in kindergarten and grades 1-5 letting you know who your child's teacher is! If you have NOT registered online or updated your enrollment information, you will NOT receive confirmation as to your child’s teacher. This year, we will not send postcards to students in grades 1-5.
If you happen to check your child’s PowerSchool account throughout the summer, please note that any assigned teachers listed in PowerSchool may change before August 7th. As a reminder, we are not able to take teacher requests, requests for a change in teacher, nor are we able to place students based on friendships.
