Picture Retake Day is Coming!
Lifetouch will be at Highlands Elementary for Picture Retake Day on Friday, October 24, 2025. If your child missed the original Picture Day or you’d like a retake, this is the time!
Here’s how it works:
- Students will be photographed on Retake Day. Please send the original package back if available.
- You can still order at mylifetouch.com using the Picture Day ID: EVT8P2JPS.
- Picture orders will be sent home with students after Retake Day.
For questions, contact Lifetouch at 1-800-736-4753 or email [email protected].
We have been having unseasonably warm weather but the cold is just around the corner. Please make sure your students are dressed appropriately for the sudden changes of warm to cold that happen in the fall. For those who are new, and a reminder to our community, we have included our weather policy which is in our Highlands Parent Code of Conduct.
“Recess is an integral part of the school day and all students will be expected to participate. Students should wear clothing and shoes appropriate for outside play. Students can be excused from recess with a doctor’s note.
Children will go outside for recess unless there is excessive precipitation, lightning or if the temperature falls below 15 degrees (temperature + wind chill)”
Our first Lost and Found event of the year will take place during Fall Parent Teacher Conferences.
Additional Lost and Found pick up events will occur before Winter Break, followed by Winter Parent Teacher Conferences and finally during the Highlands Music Fest on May 11th. After each of these events items will be donated. Please be sure to stop by and pick up any missing items.
Thank you in advance for making your child’s conference a priority. Below is important information about signing up for the Highlands Elementary conferences
Conference Dates: Conferences at Highlands Elementary will be taking place on September 30th, October 2nd and 7th.
- Sign-Up Date: Registration for conferences will open on September 19th after 9 am.
- Meet The Teacher sign up link and Meet the Teacher directions.
- Primary Contact in Infinite Campus (IC): Highlands Elementary has chosen to use the primary contact one that families have set up in the Infinite Campus system to receive conference notifications. This is done to reduce duplicate conferences and encourage families to attend together whenever possible.
- Priority Contact Selection: If no specific priority contact was chosen in Infinite Campus, the notification may be sent to either spouse.
- Data Matching: Parents are required to enter information that matches what is recorded in the Infinite Campus system.
- Student Information: Parents will also need to provide their child’s first and last name along with the student ID. The student ID can be found in the IC Parent Portal. Most students know their ID as it is commonly used as their iPad password and lunch number.
Student Fees & Payments
You can pay school fees through either Revtrak or Infinite Campus.
- Revtrak: For field trips, class shirts, and special classroom supplies (like music recorders).
- Infinite Campus: For materials fees, iPad insurance, and preschool tuition.
