Dear Hawks Family, Once again, we have come to the close of another remarkable and very memorable school year for Heights Elementary School. This school year went by fast! Many of your children have been recommended to attend the program for either additional assistance or for providing your children an insight to what they will expect to learn as they go on to the next grade level. Summer school programs begin on Tuesday, June 1, 2026 and end on Wednesday, June 25, 2026. These programs include the Extended Year Program, Extended School Year (ESY), the 1st Grade Academy, 2nd Grade Academy, the 3rd/4th Grade Prep Academy, the STEAM Academy for K – 2nd grades, and the STEAM Academy for 3rd – 4th grade students. The times for these programs are from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Students in PK4 – K may also have been recommended for the Bilingual Summer School Program which runs from June 1, 2026 until to June 25, 2026, from 7:45 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. from Monday through Thursday. All classes will be held at Daiches Elementary School. Bus transportation will be available each day to and from Heights Elementary School. The school bus number is 163 and students must be at this corner at 7:05. Students will be expected to be at the corner of Rosario St. and Stone St. by 7:30 a.m. As soon as students arrive at Daiches Elementary, breakfast will be served. If you have questions regarding any summer school program, please feel free to contact the school at (956)273-3600. Report cards are available through the Skyward School Portal; however, official copies of your child/children’s report cards(s) will be distributed on Friday, May 22, 2026, the last day of the school year. Other important information will also be included with your children’s report card including our school’s school supply list. In closing, it was an honor and privilege having your children at Heights Elementary School. I hope that your children have had a memorable year. We thank you for entrusting your children to us. Please continue to listen to updates about the beginning of the school year which begins on August 10, 2026. The Laredo ISD Dress Code guidelines are attached in both English and Spanish. Please use this as guide for your clothing purchases. Dress code will be enforced during the 2026 – 2027 school year. Information about Meet the Teacher Night will be posted on the school’s webpage and be available on the school’s marquee. I hope that you have an enjoyable, restful, safe, and healthy summer. Please feel free to contact us with any questions, concerns, or suggestions. Always remember that we “Heights Strong” and together we will continue to take on every challenge and meet it head-on. See you soon! Sincerely, Adriana Padilla Principal Gilberto Rios Assistant Principal
