Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year, the Highcrest community and our school’s website! I hope you find this website informative.  This is an extra special year for us as it marks the 40^th anniversary of Highcrest School.  Our school is a vibrant academic and social community based on collaboration among students, staff, and parents. We maintain high expectations and are committed to creating an environment of mutual respect and responsibility for oneself and others. The Highcrest School community enjoys a strong partnership between home and school and looks forward to your active participation.

On September 1, we opened the doors to over 420 smiling faces. The staff and I are excited about the many new learning opportunities that will take place this year, most notably the implementation of the Responsive Classroom.  Teachers will receive training in the Responsive Classroom throughout the school year.  Highcrest Elementary School is a very special place in large part due to the open communication that exists here. Therefore, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s classroom teacher, the support staff or me for any reason.

In addition to this website another way for you to stay informed about Highcrest during the school year is through our school newsletter “Highcrest Highlights”, published monthly by the Highcrest PTO.  We are delighted that your family is part of our community and look forward to your support and participation, as together, we continue the tradition of excellence at Highcrest School.

Sincerely,

Maresa M. Harvey, Principal
