Highlands Goals

Goal #1​

At Highlands Elementary School, we practice inclusion and self-regulation while aiming to increase capacity in our students and staff by explicitly demonstrating and valuing acceptance, and teaching all students social-emotional learning (SEL) skills and self-regulation strategies.

Goal #2

At Highlands Elementary School, we strive for all students to improve their literacy and numeracy competencies through explicit, daily instruction and practice based on research-proven strategies.
