WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
CMAS testing 2019
 

CMAS testing continues! We are still looking for volunteers to provide healthy snacks for next week - our current supply is very low! Please see the sign-up genius here if you are able to help. Please drop off snack donations to the front office. 

For planning purposes, please find the CMAS testing schedule here. Please try to schedule doctors and other appointments accordingly, as make-up testing is not ideal and students will miss classwork to make up CMAS testing. We appreciate your cooperation in making this a positive testing experience for all students.


8th Grade Bake Sale @ Conferences

Our 8th graders will be having a bake sale at Conferences to raise money for the epic trip to Stone Canyon. Stop by and grab a treat to help out these amazing students. 

If you are an 8th grade family, please remember to sign up to participate in the bake sale: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0A4EAEAF2BA0FA7-bake1 . Thank you!


Share your culture with our new families!

We are looking for families interested in helping prepare appetizers for our New Family Dinner event on May 2nd. During this annual tradition, we welcome new families to Highline with food and conversation with teachers and staff. We would love to celebrate our many cultures here at Highline and can help compensate you for your supplies and efforts. Items like empanadas, sambusas, or any other bite-sized appetizers. Please reach out to Heather Knight at hknight@highlineacademy.org if you are interested in helping.
