Before school starts, one of the most important things you'll need to complete for EACH of your students is the Skyward Information Update. You can access that beginning today. When completing the update, please make sure to pay special attention to the AUP - Technology Form. This is the form that allows your student to use computers at school. Due to an updated state law, this has to be completed every year. Last week the district reset these - so beginning today you can re-approve them.
For more information about the Skyward update, you can visit the district Skyward page: https://www.alpineschools.org/page/skyward
Make sure you complete your Skyward update soon so you're ready for the new year, and for seeing teacher assignments. We will post class/teacher assignments in Skyward on August 8th.
Email Ms. Jennye or Call the Office if you have any questions or need help with your Skyward access or password.
Parents need to log in and complete the Student Annual Information Update in Skyward.
We apologize that some student accounts were disabled a few days earlier than we anticipated.
You can unlock your student's account by logging into Skyward as a parent (not as a student) and completing the Student Annual Information Update.
Skyward Login: skyward.alpinedistrict.org
The update must be done on a computer, not a mobile device. It may take several hours after the update to for accounts to be fully available.

Attention Kinder and 1st Grade parents.
Each year we make Highland Specific Backpack Tags for our kindergarten and 1st grade students. These tags help our teachers and staff ensure that every student gets to the right location after school.
Please take a moment and fill out this form: https://forms.gle/5ADUWDX9bJxeREhF9
Completing this form in advance will allow us to create your student's backpack tag so you can pick it up at back-to-school night.
Please note: we are aware that currently the new bus stops and bus picture assignments are not active on the district bus website. Please select the bus your student rode last year or "not sure". We will be verifying all buses based on your family address in Skyward before printing bus student tags.
