Fall 2025 Registration and Volunteering: Registration requests and appointment scheduling are around the corner. Your Registration Priority affects your appointment time which affects class availability and enrollment. Volunteering at registration can help your appointment time. If you haven’t already signed up to be a volunteer (VP application not required), you can still go on the wait list. Please email regvolunteercoordinator@hche.org if you have any questions. Registration dates are Aug 4-Aug 6th.
Teachers: Attention teachers and future teachers! We are putting our fall schedule together. If you plan to teach, please fill out your NOI. We are using the new database to sign up so if you do not know what to do, please contact the class director.
Vital Partners: It’s not too late to become a Vital Partner. Click HERE for open positions. Please stop by Guest Services to sin up.
Dress Code Reminder: As the weather begins to warm, please remember that High Country has a dress code that we encourage students as well as parents to follow. All HCEC participants and families are encouraged to dress in a modest, tasteful fashion. Our Family Handbook (page 11) states:
For girls, any skirts, dresses or shorts should be an appropriate length for sitting and moving modestly. Shirts and dresses should cover cleavage and midriff. No spaghetti straps or tanks without a blouse over it.
Boys and girls should wear jeans, pants or shorts that are neat, clean and that fit comfortably and are not too tight or excessively baggy. Shirts with sleeves are preferred and T-shirts are acceptable for all, if worn with discretion.
If you are unsure if something is appropriate, please do not wear it. Remember that clothing can be a "stumbling block," so out of respect to the facility where we meet, please do not wear clothing that might cause offense to another. Please do not put the Administration in the awkward position of sending you home for more appropriate attire.
