Dear Families,
Thank you for such a huge support in our Hispanic Heritage Program! We are making the needed adjustments to improve our community events each time. We look forward to continuing to work together this year!
Our mission is to "Educate every child every day; whatever it takes," and our vision is "Excellence for every student and staff member!" This is our promise to you and your scholar.
Here at Highlands we are Unleashing New Opportunities everyday because WE ARE UNO!
Sincerely,
Ms. Griffin
HISPANIC Heritage Month
Every student brings unique cultural strengths to the classroom. Recognizing and nurturing those strengths encourages not only success but also promotes an open-minded, supportive environment that celebrates cultural differences.
We will celebrate culture all month. During the month, students can dress in traditional Hispanic wear on Wednesdays, Hispanic Countries Professional Sport wear on Fridays, or colored shirts (red, white, or green) representing the flag of Mexico with jeans.
WE ARE UNO!
October 12th- Picture Day
Highlands PTA Updates
In order to start our PTA here at Highlands, we had to have two volunteers commit to being officers. We are fortunate enough to have Rolicia Foster and Sharron Williams step up to the plate! Mrs. Foster has agreed to serve as president, and Mrs. Williams will serve as the treasurer!
Families continue to be on the look out for information on joining PTA and membership dues! Make sure you have completed the volunteer process. See below for information on becoming a volunteer in Cedar Hill ISD. We are excited to continue to build a strong school and home partnership.
