Attention Incoming HECC Families! 📢
If you have an incoming Pre-K or Kindergarten student and did not receive the Highlands Early Childhood Center welcome email sent by principal Kristie Gizienski this past Monday, Aug. 10, your child may not be officially registered for the 2026-2027 school year.

If you did not receive the email, please contact Michaela Bonnett at [email protected] as soon as possible to confirm your registration status and learn what documentation may still be needed to complete the enrollment process.
