WELCOME TO SUMMER 2022!
A Message from the Administrative Team
This year has been full of challenges and successes...from indoor, no wait, outdoor lunches...to masks required, no wait, no masks... and all of the challenge and fun that comes from daily school life, like concerts, homework, projects, iPads and more!
We are so encouraged by the persistence and positive attitude of our students, and are grateful for your partnership through this school year. THANK YOU for supporting us in making Highcrest such a wonderful community for all of us to grow and learn together.
We wish you a wonderful summer full of fun, family, relaxation and sunshine. To our sixth grade families, we look forward to seeing you across the field at WJHS, and to our fifth grade families, we are looking forward to seeing you again in the fall!
Take care,
Kelly, Susie, and Linda
