Happy Monday!!! It is the last week before final exams and assessments for fall semester. Be sure that you are in your Live Lessons, Bubble Groups, and Boot Camps this week.
These are super important to help you be prepared and successful in your courses and on your state assessments. We have seen that those students who attend live lessons regularly perform better on state assessments than those who do not. We will be doing data chats in January so you can see your progress on your assessments so far this year. We can't wait to see you in lessons and make sure everything is completed successfully this semester.
Remember all grades must be finished and passing by the end of next week so don't delay get your work in today!!!!

✨ Teacher Feature: Ms. Kerik-Lyman (Ms. K)! ✨
We’re excited to shine a spotlight on one of our newest teachers this year - Ms. Kerik-Lyman, or as our students know her, Ms. K! She decided to hop on our crazy train, and we couldn’t be more thankful to have her on board! 🚂💙
Ms. K teaches Middle School Math, Geometry, and Algebra 2, and she has jumped right into the world of virtual learning with energy and enthusiasm. With 21 years of teaching experience in physical classrooms, she brings a wealth of knowledge and a huge heart to our school. She loves working with students and families, and somehow she can’t go anywhere without running into a former student - she’s even teaching her former students’ kids now! 📚💛
Fun Fact: Ms. K recently visited and photographed the MotoAmerica track in Wisconsin - how cool is that? 🏍️📸
We’re so grateful to have her as part of our virtual family. Welcome, Ms. K! 🌟

🍂 Teacher Feature: Thankful for Our Science Star, Mrs. Bozeman! 🍂
As we enter this season of gratitude, we’re especially thankful for our incredible high school science teacher, Mrs. Bozeman! Her passion for teaching and her dedication to our students shine through in everything she does.
From filming engaging science labs for our virtual learners to leading hands-on activities with our Academy students, she makes science come alive in every setting. Mrs. Bozeman also encourages students to explore future careers through Ducks Unlimited industry certifications and our Agricultural Science program, while inspiring leadership and teamwork through her role as our 4-H Club sponsor.
But her impact doesn’t stop there - Mrs. Bozeman is also our resident technology guru, always ready to lend a hand to colleagues and share tools that make teaching more efficient and engaging.
We are so thankful for her curiosity, creativity, and constant support of both students and staff. Highlands Virtual is a better place because of you, Mrs. Bozeman! 💚
