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.
