Good morning!

This is Mr. Greene, Assistant Principal with an important reminder to our parents. Remember we have mandatory parent meetings at the beginning of next week. The 3rd grade meeting will discuss current data, important information, and promotional requirements. The 4th/5th grade meeting will discuss current data, behavior concerns, and support needed. Both meetings will allow for questions. Please make it a priority to attend. The 3rd grade parent meeting is Monday, January 12, 2026. The 4th and 5th grade parent meeting is Tuesday, January 13, 2026. The times for both are from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Thank you for your attention to this matter and I look forward to seeing you as we come together to ensure the academic success of our students.

Hawk Families,

I have great news to share! Our partners at The Giving Closet Project have just opened the Holiday Giveback Celebration to all families who wish to attend. The event is no longer limited to 15 families in need—everyone is welcome to join in on the holiday fun! 🎉 As a reminder, the Holiday Giveback Celebration will be on Thursday, December 11, 6:00 - 8:00pm at Highlands Estates Academy. We encourage families to arrive early to be among the first 400 guests admitted.

We hope you’ll join us for an evening filled with warmth, joy, and community as we celebrate the holiday season together. If you’re planning to attend, wear your favorite holiday pajamas and get ready to enjoy: a delicious meal; DJ & bounce house; toy and gift shop for students; hot cocoa bar; cookie decorating; and so much more!

We can’t wait to see you there! 🎁🎄

Good morning! Today students will receive an important letter detailing state testing dates in December. The letter will be attached to this message as an image so you can get the information as well, just in case your child is absent. Please enjoy your break and we'll see everyone back on Monday, December 1, 2025. Please ensure students come back rested and ready to learn. There will be zero tolerance for misbehavior while we prepare and conduct state testing. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Parents,

We need your help! Please take a moment to complete the district's Climate Survey, which plays a vital role in helping us understand how we're doing as a school in areas such as customer service, academics, safety, parent engagement, and more.

To accurately assess our impact, we must reach a minimum of 20% family participation. Right now, only 8 parents have completed the survey that's just 1%.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps us grow stronger together.

Click here to take the survey

Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Warm regards,

Principal Graham
