Welcome to a new beginning & new arrival/dismissal procedures!
Dear Parents,
I am delighted to have been selected as the new principal of Highland Elementary School. During my 24 years in education, I have had many experiences that prepared me well for my role at Highland.
One of our goals at Highland is to ensure that all students have multiple opportunities for success. In order for this goal to become a reality; I hope that you will join the staff and me in a productive school/home partnership. We are all aware that the more parents participate and the sooner they get involved, the greater the benefit to the child.
I would like to share with you a favorite poem that reflects my vision of the important relationship between the school and parents.
UNITY
I dreamed I stood in a studio
And watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used was a young child’s mind,
And they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher, the tools there used
Were books and music and art;
One was a parent with a guiding hand,
And a gentle, loving heart.
Day after day the teacher toiled,
With touch that was deft and sure,
And polished and smoothed it o’er.
And when at last their task was done,
They were proud of what they had wrought,
For the things they had molded into the child
Could neither be sold nor bought
And each agreed they would have failed
If they had worked alone.
For behind the parent stood the school,
And behind the teacher, the home.

Your interest, your involvement, your support, and your parental guidance are crucial to the success of all our children. Please watch for upcoming newsletters that will outline the opportunities for you to become involved at Highland. I look forward to a productive and rewarding relationship with you.
Sincerely,
Dawn F. Mirand
Principal
Highland Elementary School
Drop Off & Pick Up

2006-2007
Drop Off at Arrival -Students may be dropped off BEGINNING at 8:35 and must be in their classrooms prior to 9:00.
- Highland Staff are not in the building until 8:35, thus students requiring supervision before 8:35 must make arrangements with the YMCA at 662-9369 or 674-9622.

-Please do not plan on arriving prior to 3:15 at which time the side doors will be unlocked.
-When busses are loading around the circle, DO NOT ENTER! The side entrance will be used for pick up. If you need to park for 15 minutes or less, use the side lot. Use the upper lot to park for all other purposes.
-After pick up, exit the school grounds from the UPPER LOT EXIT so that there will be no traffic interference with the busses.
-Be sure to send in a note detailing your pick up arrangements to the classroom teacher.
