Welcome to Holland Heights
At Holland Heights, our behavior expectations are described in the matrix P-O-W-E-R. Our staff has been teaching what POWER stands for so that every student can memorize, recite, and demonstrate positive behavior.
Here’s what POWER stands for:
P-Pride | We care about self, others, work
O-Own Your Actions | We are responsible and honest
W- Wise Choices | We think before acting
E- Engaged | We are focused and involved in learning
R-Respect | Be Nice
We believe it is important for each parent to be aware of these expectations so you can support our efforts at home.
-Kevin Derr
Principal

- Your student(s) will be returning next year!
- Your household contact information is up to date
- Your student health information is up to date
- if you are requesting transportation for the 2026-2027 school year (Deadline to request bussing is August 1.)
Without this information, your student can not be added to a class list for next year OR have a class schedule created for them.

- Fuel for the Future

Behavior or Academic Concerns
Our goal at Holland Heights is for all students to receive the behavior and academic interventions they need to be successful! If you have a behavior or academic concern for your child that needs the attention of a multidisciplinary problem-solving team, please complete the Holland Heights Behavior/Academic Work Order and someone will be in touch with you.
Volunteer at Heights:
We love when parents or guardians get involved. Make sure to fill out the district volunteer form (once each school year) and return it to the office.
