With the school year set to kick off Wednesday, September 4, for Highland Elementary students, Highland Principal Chris Trostad wants to make sure everyone is signed up for Meet the Teacher. “Most parents have already registered for Meet the Teacher,” said Trostad. While most years school would start the day after Labor Day, this year, the day after Labor Day will be a full day of Meet the Teacher from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Highland will welcome children to their first full day of class on Wednesday, September 4.
The Meet the Teacher sessions are 20 minutes long, and you can call Highland School at 218-281-5600, and they can help schedule you. Trostad hopes that all parents will take this opportunity with their students to meet their teachers. “It’s very important you attend this because it’s an opportunity for you to share with the teacher maybe some of the concerns you have,” said Trostad. “It’s a chance for the parents really to educate the teacher and start to build a relationship.”
If you are new to Highland this year, Trostad said he would be happy to give families a tour so the students will be more comfortable on the first day. “I just really like doing tours because I think the night before the first day of school, the kid can sleep at night and not be so stressed and anxious,” said Trostad.
“It makes for the best first day of school.”
Meet the Teacher for Highland Elementary will be held Wednesday, August 28, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Tuesday, September 3, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The first day of school for Highland is Wednesday, September 4.
