Highland Elementary presents "Connections" program emphasizing relationships and classroom practice
Summary
Highland Elementary staff presented 'Connections,' a program focusing on intentional student-student and teacher-student relationships; principals and teachers described classroom practices and family engagement strategies.
Highland Elementary Principal Karen Bradley and a team of teachers presented the school's "Connections" work at the Sept. 19 board meeting, describing efforts to strengthen relationships student-to-student, teacher-to-student, teacher-to-teacher and school-to-home. Presenters included Jordan Katz (special education), first-grade teacher Asiya Hussian, math specialist Patty Perrin, fourth-grade teacher Nicole Cooney, science teacher Megan Looney, third-grade teacher Cyndi Stevens and fifth-grade teacher Elizabeth Nielsen.
The presentation focused on classroom- and school-level practices designed to build intentional connections; the minutes do not include lesson-level specifics but record the team's emphasis on coordinated strategies to support students academically and socially. The board received the presentation as part of the superintendent's report; no formal action was required.
