Hawk Families,

I have great news to share! Our partners at The Giving Closet Project have just opened the Holiday Giveback Celebration to all families who wish to attend. The event is no longer limited to 15 families in need—everyone is welcome to join in on the holiday fun! 🎉 As a reminder, the Holiday Giveback Celebration will be on Thursday, December 11, 6:00 - 8:00pm at Highlands Estates Academy. We encourage families to arrive early to be among the first 400 guests admitted.

We hope you’ll join us for an evening filled with warmth, joy, and community as we celebrate the holiday season together. If you’re planning to attend, wear your favorite holiday pajamas and get ready to enjoy: a delicious meal; DJ & bounce house; toy and gift shop for students; hot cocoa bar; cookie decorating; and so much more!

We can’t wait to see you there! 🎁🎄

Good morning! Today students will receive an important letter detailing state testing dates in December. The letter will be attached to this message as an image so you can get the information as well, just in case your child is absent. Please enjoy your break and we'll see everyone back on Monday, December 1, 2025. Please ensure students come back rested and ready to learn. There will be zero tolerance for misbehavior while we prepare and conduct state testing. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Parents,

We need your help! Please take a moment to complete the district's Climate Survey, which plays a vital role in helping us understand how we're doing as a school in areas such as customer service, academics, safety, parent engagement, and more.

To accurately assess our impact, we must reach a minimum of 20% family participation. Right now, only 8 parents have completed the survey that's just 1%.

Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps us grow stronger together.

Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Warm regards,

Principal Graham

Good evening,

This is Mr. Greene, your Assistant Principal. This message is for all of HAWK Nation. We are one band and one sound, united as one to reach our school grade goal of a B. To help reach our goal, we can only do this together with a spirit of kindness. I am asking that we have conversations with our children about being kind to one another. The hurtful words, attitudes, disrespect, and anger against others does not help us come together in harmony. The expected actions and behaviors must also be modeled by all of us as adults to one another as well. As a father of six, our children are watching us and our actions. I am inviting and expecting a spirit of kindness, oneness, and empathy to overtake our school. It's my desire that I have personally shown this spirit of kindness and that we have as a school overall. Let's model this excellent behavior consistently. Expect our school to model this behavior. If not, let us know so we can get it right. Remember, no one knows what the next person is dealing with. Be kind always. Be mindful of everyone in the band. When one hurts, we all hurt. When one wins, we all win. Thank you for your support with this initiative and you are all appreciated for what you do for our school. There is no school like Highlands Estates Academy! Enjoy the rest of your evening!
