The fourth graders did an amazing job on their roller coasters. It was part of their force and motion unit in science. They worked together as a class to build the foundation, the tracks and create a theme all made out of paper!! Their goal was to create a roller coaster with the longest marble ride. Way to go 4th Graders!

The Highlands Hornets 8th grade softball team wrapped up their season this week with an undefeated record of 8-0. Throughout the season the girls learned how to play together as a team and had a lot of fun doing so. It was a great way to end their Highlands sports career before moving onto high school. Nice work, Hornets!

We are very excited to be expanding our Early Childhood Education program to include a limited number of tuition-based students for the 2023-24 school year.

The District 106 Early Childhood Education Program immerses children in a play-based, student-centered environment to maximize student learning, growth, and development. Daily instruction targets all areas of development with a strong focus on literacy, math, language, and social-emotional development. Our ECE classrooms are staffed by licensed teachers with specialized training and certifications in early childhood, special education, and English language development. Additionally, related services (speech/language, occupational therapy, and physical therapy) are integrated into the classroom. Given our staff’s qualifications and specialized training, the Highlands ECE program provides a unique opportunity for our youngest learners to thrive. Below are more details about the program:
- Participation is limited to children living within the LaGrange Highlands attendance area.
- Priority will be given to students who are 4 or 5 and are not yet eligible for kindergarten. (Three-year-olds are welcome to apply but will only be considered if all 4 and 5-year-olds have a spot.)
- The AM section meets from 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. five days per week. The PM section meets from 12:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. five days per week.
- All sections are a blended classroom experience with low student-to-teacher ratios.
- Attendance days follow the District 106 student attendance calendar.
- We anticipate having approximately 24 tuition-based spots available. If we receive more applicants than available spots, a lottery will be used.
- The yearly tuition is $4,250.

Kindergarteners had fun making an art project while learning about our earth's natural resources. They learned about land, water, and air pollution as well as the journey of trash to a landfill. They are ready to take care of our planet by recycling, reusing items and reducing trash.
