Elementary Principal's Letter
August 03, 2009
Welcome to Highland Park Elementary!
Our district is a suburban school district just on the eastern edge
of Amarillo, Texas in Potter County that began in the 1978-1979
school year. Currently, our elementary enrollment is about 480
students in PreKindergarten through Fifth Grade.
Highland Park Elementary is a very special school is many ways,
primarily because of the awesome student population whom we serve.
Many of our students live in housing that was formerly part of the
Amarillo Air Force Base while others live in various small
community pockets, in rural areas, and on farms and ranches located
throughout our district. We also have many students who transfer
from nearby districts because of our “small-town” environment and
our unique school setting.
Registration for the 2009-2010 school year will be held on Tuesday,
August 4th, 2009 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Wednesday,
August 5th, 2009 from 12:00 noon to 7:00 p.m. in the school
Cafetorium. Items needed for new students registering are: a
state-sealed copy of your child’s birth certificate, a current
immunization record, a copy of your child’s social security number,
and a photocopy of a parent’s and/or guardian’s driver’s license.
For people living within our district, Highland Park also requires
a proof of residency that may be either a utility bill or a lease
agreement that are in your name. If you have questions regarding
registration, proofs of residency, or other questions, please call
our office at 806.335.1334, Ext. 122.
Homeroom Teacher Assignments for 2009-2010 will be posted on the
outside of the front doors to the Elementary Building beginning at
6:30 p.m. on Thursday, August 20, 2009. Doors will remain locked
until 7:00 p.m. Afterwards, please come to our Meet the Teacher
Night, Thursday, August 20, 2009 from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. to meet and
get to know your child’s teacher and to drop off your child’s
school supplies for the year! This will provide a smooth,
less-stressful start to a wonderful school year of learning and
growing together for both our students and parents!
