Dear Harbor Heights Families,

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year. We are glad to have your family with us, whether you have been part of Harbor Heights for years or are just beginning your journey here.

A new school year is a fresh start for everyone. For students, it is a chance to grow as readers, mathematicians, scientists, artists, and friends. For our staff, it is the work we love: knowing each child, teaching them well, and celebrating their progress along the way. And for families, it is a new season of partnership with a school that takes that partnership seriously.

Students, we are excited to see what you accomplish this year. Come ready to work hard, be kind, and try new things.

Families, stay close. Read the newsletters, come to events, and reach out any time you have a question or an idea. Your voice makes this school better. Before the first day arrives, please visit the Back to School Events drop down tab on our website for important information to help your family get ready.

If your family is new to the area and exploring school options, we welcome the chance to meet you. Call our office to set up a visit.

We are looking forward to a great year together. Go Orcas!

Ryan Heistand, Principal
Melissa Guttormsen, Deputy Principal
