Mrs. Highfield's 3rd Grade

  •  

    Welcome to Mrs. Highfield's 3rd Grade!

     

    My name is Mrs. Highfield, and I have been teaching for the Durand Area Schools since 2002.

    My husband Cory and I live in Laingsburg and we have two daughters and a son, Brenna, Aleigha, and Isaac.

    We live out in the country and have our very own chickens and ducks! Our family enjoys many MSU outings together, we love our Spartans! In my spare time I enjoy as much time as I can with my husband and three kids.

     

    Each year brings new students to share opportunities and learning experiences with and I am so excited to have your child in my class this year! I feel confident that we will have a terrific year, full of learning and fun. 

    I look forward to getting to know each of you more as the year goes on! Please never hesitate to come to me with any questions or concerns. You may stop in at any time, or to get the quickest reply from me, REMIND (please see directions below!)


    Below is some information that may help you throughout the school year, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at the school or to e-mail me.

     

    I am looking forward to a GREAT year!
