Please print a sign if you have to be away from your post with information as to when you will return, and availability to schedule a different time and date to meet and contact information, with e-mail and extension number where you can be reached.
*You will need to take leave if you are not present for conferences. Please communicate with your evaluating administrator and Mrs. Clark via e-mail if you have to be absent for any of the conference time.
If a student has a D or F, it is expected that you print the itemized report for their grades for parents and call the parents of these students inviting them to conferences. It is up to you if you print other itemized reports for specific students you believe should be doing better or are not reaching their potential academically or with attendance. We have to take extra steps to communicate with many of our parents about some of our students who struggle the most. Thank you for your additional efforts to engage these parents, as this is an essential part of changing a school culture and involving parents. We have to educate the community.
WELL DESERVED DAY OFF ON FRIDAY!
Attendance
When you are out...please provide a roster for the substitute, and we will send a proctor hourly to pick up the attendance to be entered immediately.
If you do not take attendance, there will be a reminder given hourly for you to take attendance. We do not want to interrupt instruction, but attendance is one of our goals, so we all must take the steps to reach our goal.

HPHS Site Goals 2018
By the end of the 2017-2018 school year, each student will demonstrate growth on the state assessment resulting in a school-wide increase of ten percent growth. Math proficiency will be at or above twenty percent.
By the end of the 2017-2018 school year, each student will demonstrate growth on the state assessment resulting in a school-wide increase of ten percent growth. Reading proficiency will be at or above twenty-four percent.
The overall attendance rate for Highland Park will reach ninety-two percent for the 2017-2018 school year by reducing chronic attendance issues by fifty percent.
As Administrators, Mr. Ackerman, Ms. Johnston, Ms. Watson, and myself (Mrs. Perry), we have added the following goals as the Instructional Leaders at HPHS as our commitment to our students, families, and stakeholders. These goals will not be reached overnight, and we can't do it without the assistance and support of the faculty and staff at HP, the district office and BOE Members, community, families, and especially our students who must put forth a real effort each day:
- Increase the 2017-2018 Graduation Rate based on the current students enrolled to 93% of the 11R's and Seniors and those who finish will be going to college, vocational school, the military, or secured full-time employment.
- Increase school-wide communication with a weekly staff newsletter, monthly newsletter to parents and community, updated marquee, high traffic on Facebook, and visibility in the building and at school and community activities.
- Inspect what we expect and increase teaching and learning with teachers submitting weekly lesson plans, posting power standards, evidence of Building Academic Vocabulary, increased usage of Webb's DOK Questions, common formative assessments, and bell-to-bell teaching.
- It is our goal to help make Highland Park a school we would gladly send our own children to while creating high expectations, producing results, increasing rigor in the classroom, and creating a school culture worth bragging about; where students are safe, challenged, and ready. We (Administrators, Faculty & Staff) will build ladders for students while keeping the standards and expectations high!
