Highland Park Highlights
September 2023
Message from your Principal/Mensaje de tu Directora
Dear Highland Park Families,
We are completing our third week of school. Routines and procedures have been practiced and the students are doing great. We practiced our first lock down drill and then had to call for a real lock down when there was an incident in the neighborhood. Everyone remained calm, followed what they had learned, and we were all safe the entire time.
We have almost completed all of the beginning of year MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) assessments. We will administer this assessment again mid year and at the end of the year; this type of assessment gives us a lot of valuable data about our students’ academic growth.
We had a great turnout of Highland Park staff and families at the Burbank Rightsizing Neighborhood meeting. See below for more opportunities to attend meetings where your input and ideas are taken. Click here for more information: SAISD Rightsizing.
We are going to have our first of three early release days this month. The three early release days are September 19th, November 17th, and December 13th. Students will be dismissed at 12:35 pm and there will be no after school programs.
We look forward to a fabulous September!
Warmest regards,
Virginia Parker
Principal
Estimadas familias de Highland Park,
Estamos completando nuestra tercera semana de clases. Se han practicado rutinas y procedimientos y a los estudiantes les está yendo muy bien. Practicamos nuestro primer simulacro de bloqueo y luego tuvimos que convocar un bloqueo real cuando hubo un incidente en el vecindario. Todos mantuvieron la calma, siguieron lo que habÃan aprendido y todos estuvimos a salvo todo el tiempo.
Casi hemos completado todas las evaluaciones MAP (Medida de Progreso Académico) de principios de año. Administraremos esta evaluación nuevamente a mediados y al final del año; este tipo de evaluación nos brinda muchos datos valiosos sobre el crecimiento académico de nuestros estudiantes.
Tuvimos una gran participación del personal y las familias de Highland Park en la reunión del vecindario Rightsizing de Burbank. Vea a continuación más oportunidades para asistir a reuniones donde se toman sus aportes e ideas. Haga clic aquà para obtener más información: SAISD Rightsizing.
Tendremos el primero de tres dÃas de salida anticipada este mes. Los tres dÃas de salida temprana son el 19 de septiembre, el 17 de noviembre y el 13 de diciembre. Los estudiantes saldrán a las 12:35 pm y no habrá programas después de clases.
¡Esperamos un septiembre fabuloso!
El más cálido saludo,
Virginia Parker
Directora
