College Heights Connection
Dear Families,
It has been another wonderful week of learning here at College Heights. Thank you to the families in Ms. Jones' and Ms. Ramirez's classes for coming to Pre-K Community Circle today and for being flexible with the rescheduled date.
With the possibility of severe weather this weekend, please make sure your family's contact information is up to date in Infinite Campus so that you will receive updates from the district.
Above all, please stay safe and warm.
Have a great weekend,
Principal Garland
