Stop and Think...
HVES' Counselor shares some thoughts!

Our school Counselor, Jennifer Jones, has made some amazing changes since joining HVES this Fall. Her insight has been helping the kids through lunch bunches and other means and we welcome her to our Community. See her presentation on the new "Stop and Think" program and feel free to contact her VIA EMAIL any time with questions or concerns.


Advocacy...
"Using New Media to Tell Our Story"

"Making budget cuts in difficult times requires careful consideration of impact. Evaluating the every day value of teaching and specialist resources should not simply be reduced to spreadsheets. To help educate and inform policymakers about the critical role of specialists and educators in schools like Highland View, parents at Highland View decided to tell their story in their own voice... Watch it now!


Get Involved...
"HVES relies on Parent Volunteers"

Finding ways to get involved can be challenging without help and some guidance. If you have some time to spare, come and lend a hand at your child's school. Contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Heather Sauter, to learn of all the fantastic opportunities. Some projects take an hour, some take a day - whatever you can do, try to come and see what a difference you can make! Learn more.. Questions? Email Heather Sauter Powers.

Video en apoyo a Highland View

Los padres de Highland View Elementary School sabemos que nuestros niños no son estadísticas -- son individuos con potencial ilimitado. Para ayudar a nuestros líderes a entender las caras e historias detrás de los números, los padres creamos un video corto que habla de los cambios culturales y socio económicos que se están dando el condado de Montgomery y los desafíos y oportunidades que estos crean en nuestras escuelas. Estamos consientes de las condiciones económicas que se atraviesan pero consideramos que es crucial darle prioridad a proveer los recursos que nuestras escuelas necesitan. Ilustramos este mensaje en el video.

Consejo para ver el video: Cuando el video comience ubique el símbolo de HQ en los controles para asegurarse que este viendo en el modo de video de alta calidad.

Un gracias especial a Jill Ortman Fouse por su trabajo y tiempo organizando, produciendo y editando este video. También agradecemos a Final Cut Productions y Walter Gottlieb (padre de Highland View) por la generosa donación de recursos para producirlo.
