The School Board of Highlands County is excited to launch Highlands PLUS, a brand-new way for non-enrolled and non-traditional students in our community to access high-quality district courses. Students can take as little as one course or several. Courses can be taken in person or virtually through Highlands Virtual School (HVS)! Please note that course availability varies by school.
Whether your student is looking to explore a new passion or get ahead, we offer incredible courses in:
🔬 STEM
🎨 Fine Arts
💼 Career & Technical Education (CTE)
📚 Core Academics (Math, Reading, Science, Social Studies—including Honors!)
💻 Virtual Learning
We are an authorized StepUp for Students provider! We accept payments directly through the EMA portal as well as direct pay options. This program is specifically designed for non-traditional students who may be utilizing the FTC or FES school choice scholarships.
Access to a district Chromebook is fully included in your course enrollment price. Accidental Chromebook damage is covered by paying an annual $10 use fee.
Note: Highlands PLUS is for non-enrolled students, meaning SBHC acts as a contracted service provider. Participants are not enrolled as full-time public school students.
👉 Ready to customize your child's education? Log into your StepUp EMA portal or visit our district website at https://www2.highlands.k12.fl.us/plus to explore courses and begin enrollment today!

⭐ May's Word of the Month: Responsible Decision-Making ⭐
This month, we are focusing on Responsible Decision-Making: Thinking about all options and outcomes to make the best choice.
Parents, here are some tips to help reinforce this skill at home:
👉 DESCRIBE BEING RESPONSIBLE
Take a moment to describe specific ways your child can practice being responsible.
EXAMPLE: Children can practice making responsible decisions by picking up toys after they are finished playing.
👉 CHAT ABOUT IT
Start a conversation by asking your child these questions:
Describe a decision you made today.
What were the choices you considered?
What were the possible outcomes?
What was the final outcome?
Do you think that was a responsible decision?
From the Desk of Mrs. Spencer
