WE WELCOME!

For the upcoming 2026-2027 school year, we are excited to announce a couple staffing changes at Highland Acres Elementary:

Mrs. Chandra Henderson will be our new 2nd grade teacher, replacing Mrs. Flach, who is transitioning to a 3rd grade position at Roosevelt. Chandra has been teaching 2nd grade for the past six years at Moses Elementary in Bismack, and she exhibits exceptional teaching skills, classroom management, professionalism and leadership. We are thrilled to have Mrs. Henderson join our Highland Acres community.
Mrs. Faith Reyes will be our new 3rd grade teacher for the upcoming 2026-2027 school year. Faith has most recently served as a Title I Reading Specialist at Will-Moore Elementary. We look forward to her positive, energetic, and hard-working presence in our school.
Mr. Brian Price will be our new 5th grade teacher. Brian is a veteran BPS educator, serving as a Horizon Middle School Science teacher for the past 16 years. His inquisitive and energetic teaching style lends to a highly engaging classroom environment with high expectations for all students.

As the school year approaches, we will be sure to announce any further staffing changes that occur. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Safety Reminders
Student Pick-up and Drop-off
