Part of our role within the PTA is connection: to nurture relationships between families, the school, and our local community


In that vein, we’re introducing a buddy program pairing new families with established ones. The hope is that these connections will help new parents and students to quickly start making friends and get the inside scoop on happenings at the Heights and in our community. 


If you’re part of a new family or interested in volunteering as a mentor family, additional information about the program and how to get involved can be found here.
