Whew! What a week! 😅
The first full week back after our two-week snow hibernation has definitely left both students and staff feeling a little extra tired — but we jumped right back in and had a great week at the HIVE! We loved celebrating Kindness Month, Valentine’s Day, and kicking off our PBIS challenge. Our students have been working hard and showing so many positive behaviors!
A few important reminders for next week:
* No school on Monday, February 16 in observance of Presidents Day.
* Our Book Fair begins on February 18 — we can’t wait to get started!
* Be sure to check out the attached “Peek at the Week” for all the details.
* We hope you all enjoy a wonderful and restful long weekend! 🐝💛

We are missing our Highland Hornets and cannot wait to welcome everyone back to in-person learning! 🐝💛 Attached, you will find our Peek at the Week to help you plan ahead.
Our first day back will also be our official 100th (and some) Day of School! Students are invited to dress like they are 100 years old or wear a 100th Day celebration shirt to join the fun.

Tomorrow will be another NTI day (DCPS@Home Day 9). A folder with PreK–5 Day 9 packets is attached for anyone who would like to print the packet. Please note that printing is not required—students will only need a pencil and a piece of paper when they log in with their teachers.
We know this may be inconvenient, and our Hornet community is eager to return to in person learning! Our students did a fantastic job being online and ready to learn today! Thank you for supporting your learner from home!
We look forward to seeing everyone online tomorrow at 9:00 AM. 🐝💛

Dear Highland Families,
We are eager to welcome our students back into the building; however, the weather is not cooperating as we had hoped. As a result, Wednesday, February 4 will be a DCPS@Home learning day (Day #8).
Please note that students do not have Day 8 materials in their folders. Day 8 materials can be accessed using the following link:
https://sites.google.com/daviess.kyschools.us/dcpsathome/home
Students should log into Google Meet at 9:00 a.m. to receive instruction from their teachers. Day 8 materials may be printed at home, or students may complete their work using their own paper. As a reminder, students will have five school days after returning to in-person learning to complete any DCPS@Home assignments.
To make access easier, we have created a folder containing Day 8 packets for grades PreK–5. You may select the appropriate grade level and print the materials or use them as a reference.

We understand that days like this can sometimes be confusing, and we truly appreciate your patience and flexibility. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or the school office if you need assistance.
Your feedback matters! Highland Elementary is committed to growing and improving as a PBIS school, and your input helps guide that work. By sharing your thoughts on the HIVE expectations and our PBIS practices, you help us strengthen positive supports for all students and ensure our school continues to be a safe, supportive, and successful place for children to learn. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey below.

Good evening HES families,
Fortunately the road conditions have improved enough throughout the day that we can go IN PERSON tomorrow, Wednesday, December 3. We urge you to use caution during morning travel, as low temperatures could create spots of black ice and some overpasses may be less than perfect. HES prioritizes safety, and we are excited to see our students tomorrow. If there is anything you need, please do not hesitate to reach out!
