The PTO provides for programs designed to enhance each grade’s current curriculum, provides teachers with additional
materials not covered in the school’s budget, and hosts many family-fun and community events.

Thank You!

A tremendous "Thank You!" to everyone that came to our first meeting.

It is always heartwarming to see so many parents interested in taking an active role in their children's school.  Please feel free to use us as a resource for any questions you may have, or ideas you might want to share.  Our PTO lives and grows because of parents like you.  Every program we run, every event we put on, every new tool we share with teachers and staff started out as an idea that came from a parent just like you.

Please continue to learn and grow with us through this 2012-2013 school year.

And if you need 3 good reasons to remember to come to our October 15th meeting:
1)  We'll talk a LOT less about fundraising!
2)  Superintendent Tharp is excited to meet his fellow Highland View Parents, and
3)  The new statewide school report-card system will affect all of us, and Kim Amidzich's presentation will make sure we understand what's going on.

"When parents get involved in their children’s education, grades go up, test scores go up, children become more likely to attend better schools after high school, they have fewer discipline problems, and they’re less likely to use drugs and alcohol. This is supported by more than 500 independent studies about parent involvement!
