The third row reflects the continuing efforts of our teachers to increase their mastery of the content areas they teach. The information on school safety is intended to illustrate the policies and procedures we have in place to make our school as safe as possible for our students and staff. Upon enrollment, students receive instructions to report to designated staff knowledge of drugs, weapons, or any unusual behavior exhibited by fellow students. Students lockers and possessions on school property are subject to periodic inspections. Students are under adult supervision at all times and all visitors to campus must first report to the main office.
Staff have continuous access to the office via phones in classrooms and portable radios.
How We Use Technology to Teach Highland Elementary School provides a wide variety of instructional software programs to insure the use of technology across the curriculum. Every classroom has at least two networked computers. Highland Elementary also has a 30-station technology lab fully equipped. All computers are readily accessible during the school day to all students and staff. Through the use of MS Works and MS Office students develop and write portfolios at each grade level.
