Changes in the Administration Office
Our Assistant Principal, Kate Newfield, will be returning from maternity leave at the beginning of March, joining Principal Katie Blasetti on the New Heights school administration team. 
Kim Brocanier returned to New Heights last February to cover the Assistant Principal role for Kate’s leave. As a familiar face for so many of our staff, students and families, and as someone who understands and believes in the New Heights community and culture, we are so grateful for Kim for stepping in for these months, making it as seamless a transition as possible.

Kim will be onsite through the beginning of March as Kate transitions back. After March Kim will be off on her next adventure. We will miss her, but are excited for her next endeavours. And we know that she will be back to visit often.

More Games Added to Teach Your Monster to Read !
Last month I let you know about an early literacy game that is available on the web or as an app called Teach Your Monster to Read. If you have been using this website you may have noticed that it has a new look. If you haven’t yet had a chance, now is the time to check it out as they have added two new games that you can access from their website: Teach Your Monster to Read, or are available as separate apps.

These two new games are called Teach Your Monster: Reading For Fun (provides a variety of quests, reading, and books) and Teach Your Monster: Number Skills (provides some new and fun ways to practice numbers)

One of our high school students is running a Lego Challenge this month for all New Heights students.

The instructions are simple:
