HighMark Charter School’s Special Education Department is attempting to identify all children with disabilities who are currently enrolled at the school.
If a child is having significant difficulty with vision, hearing, speech and/or behavior or is experiencing slow development atypical for his/her age, physical impairments or learning difficulty then he/she may be a child with a disability. Disabilities that could interfere with education include: autism, deaf-blindness, deafness, emotional disturbance, hearing impairment, intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities, orthopedic impairment, specific learning disabilities, communication disorders, traumatic brain injury and visual impairment. Federal law mandates the provision of free educational programs and/or services for such persons.
If you know of a current HighMark student who might qualify for Special Education services, including a student suspected of having a disability even though he/she is advancing from grade to grade, please contact HighMarks’ SpEd Department at 801.476.4627 or email at klockwood@hmcharterschool.org.

Patriotic, Civic, And Character Education
HMCS will promote student character education to reaffirm values and qualities of character which promote an upright and desirable citizenry. The civic education will help cultivate informed students, encourage responsible participation in political life, and promote the fundamental values and principles of representative democracy in Utah and the United States.
We will teach patriotic education as part of the social studies curricula. Examples of civic education include:
History of the flag, etiquette, customs pertaining to the display and use of the flag, and other patriotic exercises;
Role modeling patriotic values associated with the flag;
Forms of government; and
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.
It is acceptable for an elementary school student to choose not to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance for religious or other reasons and students should show respect for individuals who participate and who choose not to participate. Exemptions to civic education are outlined under Utah Rule.
