Bark...Bark... Do the Huskie Bark!!
The students at Highland Pines School are showing their school spirit at our monthly assembly. We celebrate students being a good friend, responsible and safe.
Today HPS celebrated our PBIS winners for the month of January. Be a Friend, Be Responsible and Be Safe are the three principals our students work very hard to achieve. January's reward for all students who had no office discipline referrals was a "Yard Game Party" in the gym.
January was a busy and fun month at HPS! Our students participated in the Bowl-A-Thon to raise money for Special Olympics. Students also worked very hard learning job skills and cooking skills. Thank you to Vassar Building Center, one of our community partners, for providing our students with an opportunity to improve their skills. Stay tuned for February updates.
Two new sleds were purchased for our students at HPS. These awesome sleds provide some great winter fun for students needing more support to sled safely.
