Highlands High School, SAISD

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Thank you so much for ensuring your students made it to summer school for our first three days! It’s wonderful to see them putting in the work to earn missing credits and prepare for their EOC tests.

Thank you so much for your patience as we work through these first-week logistics. Because our summer timeline is so short, every minute of learning counts. To help our students stay completely focused and safe, we are implementing a few new campus policies starting tomorrow:

Distraction-Free Environment: No backpacks will be allowed on campus, and cell phones must be put away during school hours.

Behavior Policy: We are maintaining a zero-tolerance policy for behavioral disruptions to ensure all students can learn without interruption.

Morning Bus Routes: We have updated our morning bus times. Please ensure your student is at their bus stop 10 minutes before the listed time. Click here https://shorturl.at/u1STR or scan the QR code.

Breakfast Schedule: We are extending breakfast service until 10:00 AM moving forward.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our school environment focused and successful. We can’t wait to see your students bright and early tomorrow!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we wrap up the school year, please note that students may not bring backpacks to school this week. Any backpacks brought to campus will be collected, stored safely, and returned to students at the end of the day.

Lastly, remind your student to turn in all school-issued Chromebooks and chargers. Please ensure your student has both items ready to hand in.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us close out the year smoothly!

Students will report to the library during the class period of the exam they missed. Because of limited space, senior students will have priority for makeup testing today and Tuesday.
