School Calendar - Apologies, I forgot to amend the end of 3rd quarter and parent/teacher conference dates. These are now corrected on the website and the previous link should show as corrected also.
The following link: https://bit.ly/30wZXkW is the updated 2020-21 Highland Calendar & identifies the snow makeup days. They remain as communicated at the beginning of the year, with 3/19, 3/31, 4/1, and 5/26 serving as our remaining makeup days. Last day of school is 5/26!
HHS Fellowship of Christian Athletes had the first meeting today. A great message was delivered from Coach Thrasher to start out our day.
Reminder— Varsity Track and Field will have a Parent Meeting Thursday March 11 at 5:30 PM in the HHS gym.
It appears that we may be in for a 2nd surge and a possible spike in COVID-19 cases. Please explain the importance of proper masking and encourage your kids to wear their masks. That is what it is going to take if we want to keep “in-person” learning intact!
HES had 17 2nd graders quarantined today after a positive student was identified (9 of which are also not allowed to come to school because of improper masking).
HHS also had 19 students quarantined from school due to a HS positive & improper masking by students.
The LCC1 Board of Education will meet Wednesday, 3/10/21 at 5pm in the HHS Commons with Open Session starting at 6pm. The agenda can be viewed here: https://bit.ly/3rGCav3

Highland HS did have a positive COVID case among the staff, which has led to 1 other staff member quarantined at present, as well as household contacts. It is still important to continue masking or it will lead to more students/staff quarantined! Please do your part!
