Highland third graders rocked their first student-led conferences of the year. #leaderinme #studentslead



Exciting news for Highland Elementary students! This year, our school was awarded the Steele Reese Foundation Grant which has provided us with nearly $30,000 worth of reading materials. Comprised of just short of 3,000 books and other tools for the hands of our students, the Pioneer Valley Literacy Footprints Guided Reading collection addresses kindergarten through 6th grade. We feel very blessed and grateful to have another fantastic resource to use when teaching our students. Great things are happening at Highland Elementary!

Congratulations to Mrs. Bayes for receiving the Modern Classrooms Project Screencastify Scholarship and a one year Screencastify membership. Mrs. Bayes will redesign her classroom while completing the MCP Virtual Mentorship Program.


Congratulations Braxton Duncan for earning a Citizenship Award. Braxton was ahead of pace in his math unit, so he volunteered to be a student teaching assistant and help others relate the standard algorithm for subtraction to base 10 blocks. Way to go, Braxton!

Fourth grade students showed amazing leadership skills leading their conferences. They shared mission statements, goals, progress data, reflections & celebrations. Special thanks to their grown ups for documenting this excellence with a photo.

Some of Mrs. Ramey’s fourth graders collaborated to complete boom cards adding three addends. Others worked in the collaboration corner to find the missing digits of addends. Students celebrate mastery each day on their unit game board progress tracker. We love math!
