This year at Highwood Hills, we will continue to focus on academics, as we seek the best possible ways to meet each child’s educational and socio-emotional needs, doing what works despite resource limitations and any designations, to help each student become successful and ready for the next grade level. In so doing, we invite all families to work with us as we partner to make Highwood Hills one of the best schools that there is, not only in Minnesota, but all over the country.  As you may already know, at the core of our work is to teach the children how to connect peacefully with everyone, build their social skills while learning valuable academic skills that will endure.  We must extend that culture in our interactions with everyone, adults and children alike and wherever we can!  Thank you for the opportunity to serve, and have a great school year!
