Preparing our Community for Remote Learning
From Principal Sanchez-Hart
Hello Highline Families,
Our staff has been diligently working to prepare for our shift to Remote Learning starting Monday, November 16. It is important that you know what to expect and what resources you have available to your student and your family. We know that this is a lot to take on so we want to make sure that you feel supported in this transition.

- Expectations for entering into Remote Learning

I know that we are all nervous to return to Remote Learning, but I believe in the collective work of our students, our families, and especially our teachers! If you are in need of support or you have questions start with your student's teacher or call the main line in the office. Together we can continue our teaching and learning for the 2020-2021 school year.
We are Highline - Proud, Strong and United!
Sincerely,
Diana
