Part of what makes Highlands special is the many traditions, programs, and events that bring our community together throughout the year. In the fall alone, families can look forward to favorites such as Tie-Dye Day, International Potluck & Fashion Night, Halloween celebrations, and the Fun Run — with many more opportunities to connect as the year continues.
There are lots of ways to get involved, whether you have a few minutes, can help with a single event, or are looking for a larger volunteer role.
Visit our Programs & Events tab to see what’s coming up, learn more about PTA-supported activities, and find opportunities to participate throughout the year.
Families should also keep an eye out for communications from teachers and room parents, who may share classroom-specific volunteer needs, celebrations, field trips, special projects, and other ways to lend a hand.
Opportunities will continue to be added as the year unfolds, so check back often and watch for updates in Bear Bytes, ParentSquare, and classroom communications.
However you choose to participate, we’re grateful to have you as part of the Highlands community.
Be sure to mark your calendars and check back often as new events and details are added. You can also watch for updates in Bear Bytes, ParentSquare, and communications from teachers and room parents.
