Heights Highlights
January 2024
Dear Families,
As we begin the new year, there is much to celebrate and much to look forward to. We had a fantastic December, and January looks to be even better as we dive into the third quarter of learning. There are TONS of academic and extra curricular events taking place at Heights and around Elyria City Schools this month. Be sure to check out our 5th grade space fair on the 11th! Please be sure to check-out the important dates shown below, and reach out if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Friday Calls
Each Friday, the Principals at Heights ask the teachers for the names of some outstanding Pioneers. The teachers then nominate students in each grade level, and those students receive a call home or a letter from their Principal to celebrate their successes. Teachers are looking for students that excel in the 3 R's on our PBIS matrix, students that are kind, students that are hard working, and students that have shown improvement. Please remind your Pioneer what it takes to get a positive call, and hopefully you'll be hearing from a principal soon:)
Student Art
Interested in seeing some of our student artwork? Take a look at this online gallery created by our art teacher Mrs. Karban. So much talent!

Cell Phones and Attire
Hoodies, and similar tops or jackets with hoods, are "fan favorites" when it comes to school attire. We like them, too, but not when they are worn up and over the head during the school day.
The district's Student Code of Conduct provides direction on headgear, stating that it may not be worn over a person's head or scalp (excluding headgear that's worn for religious or medical reasons.) Hoods can make it difficult to identify an individual in an emergency, and they can also be a distraction in class. Please remind students that hoods may not be worn up during the school day.
The Student Code of Conduct also offers guidance on attire. Clothing must be school appropriate and may not present a health or safety hazard or disrupt the educational environment. Pants and tops must fit properly and be in good repair; crop tops are not permitted.
Additionally, footwear must be school appropriate--slippers and slipper socks are not permitted. Blankets also may not be worn in school.
Students may bring their cell phones to school but they must be turned off and put away during the day unless they are used as a part of a teacher-directed lesson in class. Same rules apply to Bluetooth headphones--they may not be worn during the school day.
If you need to reach your student during the school day, please contact the main office and our staff will convey a message or assist you in reaching your student.
