Join us this year as we focus on “Literacy: The Key to Increasing Student Growth and Achievement.” Our goal is continuous progress and meeting all expectations as it relates to College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI).  We will continue to focus our attention on research based instructional strategies designed to meet the needs of all students and creating a WORLD CLASS educational environment. I am sure we are going to have a great 2017-2018 school year because of your dedication and commitment to the students here at Hightower Trail Elementary.  

This year we challenge you to become actively involved in your child’s educational journey.  We invite you to volunteer in the parent center and media center, work with small groups of students, attend parent workshops and actively participate in our PTO.  We NEED and WANT your support!
