On Thursday, May 17, Hightower Administration and Faculty were
recognized by the CCSD Board of Education for achieving the
prestigious AdvancED STEM Certification.
This certification
recognizes that our STEM educational programs have met the rigor
and substance vital to creating and sustaining superior,
student-centered STEM teaching and learning programs. We are
committed to preparing our learners for the careers of tomorrow
by continuing to foster and perpetuate their enthusiasm for STEM
disciplines today. Our focus on STEM, demonstrates our continued
commitment to “Learning through ENGAGEMENT, PERFORMANCE,
APPLICATION. “
2018-19 AC Placement
Parents, we
understand everyone’s eagerness to discuss class placement for
next school year. We are using EOG Milestones and RI/MI
assessment data in conjunction with class performance to help
make these decisions. Since these scores are not yet
available to us, we will be making decisions into the summer.
We felt it would be helpful to make you aware of this process,
so you could better understand our inability to fully-discuss
your child’s potential placement for next school year.
Course requests
(meaning assigned courses for next year, not the particular
daily schedule) will be made available in ParentVue late July.
You will be notified when this becomes available.
Thank you for your
understanding, and we look forward to a wonderful 2018-19 school
year!

ever imagine. We are truly grateful to have a teacher like Katie
