Teachers

PTSO teacher reimbursement This year will be set at a $75 guarantee. We are always accepting mini grant requests. Please see our website www.highlandlakesptso.com or our box in the workroom for the correct forms. Forms can be emailed to us at highlandlakesptso@gmail.com or filled out and placed in our box.

The PTSO website We are updated for the new year! It is a valuable resource for teachers, students and parents. Please share the link in all communications with parents! We have also updated our spirit wear and now have a full online store available on our webpage www.highlandlakesptso.com. We also have a Facebook page, Highland Lakes PTSO, that is kept up daily with happenings going on around the HLS campus. This is a great resource for parents too.

The PTSO event calendar This wonderful resource is up-to-date for the year with a few exceptions. The calendar is subject to change and/or events to be cancelled due to circumstances, lack of volunteers and/or lack of interest in the event. We will communicate any changes/cancellations or add-ons to the calendar.

Easy ways HLS families can support HLS We count on being able to work together to support our teachers, staff, and students! To do this, we need help keeping parents, guardians, and students informed and excited about our upcoming events! Please help us encourage our community, inside the classroom and out, to support our school fundraisers and join us in our restaurant fundraising nights.
- Fry’s Community Rewards: Easily done through the Fry’s app. Just add Highland Lakes PTSO to your choice charity and pass the word around!
- Restaurant Fundraising: Everyone has to eat, so why not help support HLS while taking a night off from cooking yourself.
- American Furniture Warehouse: Mention Highland Lakes at time of purchase.
- Tuft and Needle Mattress: Choose Highland Lakes in the pulldown menu at time of purchase.

PTSO general meetingsWill be held the 1st Friday of each month at 9:00 am on campus in the conference room.

The Bear Bucks Students can use last year's bucks at the first Bear Buck store ONLY. Please pass that information onto your students and discard any old bear bucks. Ms. Hicks will be on the $2 buck in Blue and Mrs. Ware on the $1 in Green.

Your Favorites Our teachers and staff are so loved by the parents and students, that the PTSO will continue to compile a list of your favorite things for parents/students to look up when wanting to give a special thanks. We update our lists each year, so submit yours to the PTSO.

The Copy Cats program Please fill out the form with your copy request and attach it to the original. Place it in the basket in the workroom. Copies will be placed in your box or the counter depending on size.

Bearathon This is our most important event of the year! This event lets us support you in so many different ways. We are actively seeking sponsors for the event to make sure we can keep all the funds on our campus and in our classroom. Please help us get students and families excited to join us in our annual Bearathon!
