Dear Highland Community,

February is Visit Our Schools Month. We will have student led tours every Tuesday at 9:30 and an evening Open House event on February 25th. We are looking for a few volunteers to help represent Highland parents. If you are available, please let us know. We will have refreshments. We will also have student presentations from Mr. Klauschie's Living Museum. All are welcome to attend. Come meet prospective new Highland parents, and reconnect with current parents.

Our Climate and Connectedness Survey window for families is now open. To access the survey, please use this link: surveys.panoramaed.com/aasb; access code - highlandfamily. We will have computers available on Conference Day for you to complete the survey.

If we don't see you Tuesday night, I hope to see you Friday night at the Chili Cook Off!

~Ms. Johnson & Ms. Crosby

After linking you account, be sure to visit www.smile.amazon.com rather than Amazon standard to share a percentage of your proceeds with our school. Sign up takes 1 minute, then just remember to Smile first, and double check that your proceeds go to Highland Academy PTSO in Anchorage (there are many other Highland Academy Charter Schools out there).

FRED MEYER REWARD CAN BENEFIT HIGHLAND
Please remember to link your Fred Meyer Rewards card to Highland Academy Charter School PTSO (#92327). If you've already signed up please double check and make sure you are connected to the correct School number: 92327. You continue to earn rewards and Highland earns too!

HIGHLAND BOX TOPS

You can clip your box tops and deliver them to the front office, or you can now scan box tops and link to receipts. More information to come.
