Dear Parents/Families:
We are very excited to welcome you and your children to the 2024-25 school year! Thank you so much for visiting campus to complete your registration paperwork. If you haven’t yet done this, please make time for this on the first day of school, August 13th.
New Heights was founded with the vision of promoting health, creativity, and the power of students’ ideas. Please make sure students come to campus with healthy food, appropriate dress code, and no extra toys, tech, or distractions.
-
Safety Protocols: We will continue to follow health guidance protocols to promote the health and safety of students, parents, and staff related to cleaning, hand washing, and indoor masking. We will provide weekly COVID tests to students for the first month of school to get baseline information. We will then transition to testing only when students have symptoms or close contacts.
-
Masks are Highly Recommended Indoors: Students and staff are highly encouraged to wear masks
-
Parent Visitors on Campus: To keep everyone healthy this year, we ask parents to call us to make appointments to meet with staff on campus. If you come to campus with questions, staff will meet with you at our outside tables. If you want a tour of your child’s classroom, we will offer those by appointment at times students are not in the classroom. Please contact the office for more information.
