Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we wrap up the first half of this school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on how incredible it has been. Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our students, staff, and families, we’ve achieved so much.
We recently completed our mid-year assessments, and I’m thrilled to share that the results are some of the best we’ve seen in our school’s four-year history. This growth is a testament to the collective commitment to learning and excellence that defines our school community.
As we head into winter break, I hope everyone enjoys a restful and rejuvenating time with family and friends. When we return, we have some exciting events to look forward to, including parent-teacher conferences and our annual winter dance. These are great opportunities to celebrate our students’ achievements and continue fostering connections within our school community.
Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing everyone in the new year as we embark on another successful semester together!
Ryan Ball
Principal, Highlands
