| Parent Involvement |
|
Study after study has shown that parental involvement greatly improves a student's educational experience. With family involvement come social benefits for families, academic benefits for students and financial benefits for the school.  Our school’s continued success depends to a large extent upon our parents’ contribution of their time and talents. We believe that parent involvement strengthens the family, lowers the school’s operating costs, and establishes a strong parental role in our governing policies. Parent participation is demonstrated on each parent’s Commitment to Community contract, and documented in each parent’s work record. The minimum work requirement of 20 hours per parent is surpassed by many parents each year. HCS considers each student’s family members as part of our Highland family, and it is in this spirit that the school offers events to help create a sense of community among its members. Regular family events include potlucks, picnics, celebrations and festivals throughout the year. Whether your talents are in repairs and maintenance, communications, handwork, or within a myriad of other interests, we welcome your contributions. » See Volunteer Opportunities » Report Volunteer Hours Contact our Community Outreach Coordinator, Kim Miller [ This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ], or call [414] 342-1412, to find out how you can help. |
