District Heights Goes Digital
Volume I, Issue I
Dear Student & Parents/Guardians,
District Heights Elementary School would like to welcome all new and returning students for the 2020 - 2021 school year. Please join us throughout the school year in celebrating the many academic and personal successes our students will encounter. Our theme this year is Mission Possible! While we wish that we could begin our school year traditionally, it is not safe to do so at this time. With your help, we will ensure that the 2020 - 2021 school year is the best to date.
Attendance & Hours of Instruction
Your child should be logged in on time and attending every class/session each day. Educators will record attendance in SchoolMax throughout the day, to ensure that students log in to all sessions. Our Counselor and PPW (Pupil Personnel Worker) stand-by ready to facilitate student attendance.
Supply Distribution
Chromebooks will be issued to all newly enrolled 2nd through 5th grade students. Ipads will be issued to all Pre-K and Kindergarten students. Pre-K students that received a Chromebook in the fall, must return the device. Any family that has a device that is not functioning properly, should bring it to be serviced/exchanged. If the device has been visibly damaged, the family will be responsible for a $30 service fee, prior to receiving a new device.
**Please see the event details below for specific details for supply distribution. It is recommended that families drive a vehicle, as supply boxes will contain several texts. Families with students in different last name groups, may pick up at the same time.
**All families must wear a mask to enter the building for supply pick up.
