Highland Votech Students will still attend Hannibal Votech on 12/3/20 and 12/4/20 as scheduled. The students should know their routine to get on the bus.
LCC1 will be forced to return to Distance Learning starting tomorrow (12/3) and will last, at least, through the end of the week. Upon losing 2 more bus drivers, it is simply not feasible for the district to function with so many drivers out. More info will be shared ASAP
Link to the Updated (11/30) DAILY WELLNESS CHECKLIST for attendance at LCC1: https://bit.ly/33SGygD - Please do not attend school or school events if you cannot honestly answer NO to ALL of the questions in the Checklist. We are expecting a CDC announcement by the end of the week regarding possible updates to quarantine guidelines, but as of now this is consistent with the Local Health Department, State Health Department, CDC, and guidance under the revised quarantine rules since LCC1 has a mask mandate in place.
Please Review the following Mask Mandate Reminders: https://bit.ly/37vCZOj and make sure you & your children are properly masked when at school to assure less quarantines from school. See https://bit.ly/2KPpEbN for a graphic on how proper masking impacts quarantines at school.
JV Girls basketball at Louisiana tonight - Highland Lady Cougars defeat the Lady Bulldogs 27-23! #GoCougars
Yesterday, HES had a positive exposure with the kitchen staff, which wiped out the entire crew; however, a reserve crew of OPAA employees has allowed us to continue operating our food service at HES. No students were considered close contacts from this case.
HHS did have a positive student exposure today, which led to only 4 quarantined from school (2 from outside of school contact and 2 from not wearing masks properly). There were actually 9 more classroom close contacts, but students were properly masked and therefore can still attend school while quarantined!
A reminder for all HHS SENIOR parents: Jostens will be here tomorrow, Dec. 2, 2020, 10:30 am-11:30 am. They will be accepting orders for caps/gowns, graduation announcements , apparel and memorabilia.
If you are unable to drop orders off tomorrow, please drop your packet off in the office today, Dec. 1st and we will deliver to Jostens.
Reminder: Bus 15 Alva Farr, bus 17 Tanya Austin, and bus 22 Cindy Adams will all be run late this afternoon due to a bus driver shortage. Parents are welcome
to pick their students up if they don’t want them to stay late at school.
Juniors will be taking the ASVAB this week. The ASVAB is an aptitude test proctored by the military. This test provides students with careers that match their strengths. Students will use their own chromebooks, so please charge them the night before testing. Temperatures will also be taken before testing per ASVAB testing requirements. Students who attend on gold days will test tomorrow, Tuesday, Dec. 1 and brown day attending students will test on Thursday, Dec. 3 both dates starting at 8:15 in the Media Center.
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic the Varsity girls and boys basketball games scheduled for tomorrow at Louisiana have been cancelled. Reschedule date is pending. The JV games scheduled for tomorrow at Louisiana WILL be played as scheduled.
Just a reminder that due to a bus driver shortage bus 2 Debbie Schaffer will be ran as a secondary route today which means all students on that route will be picked up approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes late this morning and dropped off late this afternoon as well. Parents are welcome to drop off or pick up their students if they choose to.
LCC1 is in session as planned tomorrow with HES in full schedule & HHS in Hybrid (except students with an F attend all 5 days). We are short drivers, so please see the earlier announcement regarding some late pickups and drop offs.
Good evening Highland JR/SR High parents and guardians. I wanted to remind everyone that we will be on a hybrid schedule next week:
Brown Day: Monday/Thursday and Gold Day: Tuesday/Friday.
Also, if your student has an F in any class they will be required to attend Monday- Friday for the remainder of the semester. Please call the office or email if you have any questions.
Thanks and have a good evening.
Please remember bus 15 Alva Farr and bus 22 Cindy Adam’s will be picked up in the morning late and dropped off late in the afternoon. Those wishing to bring their students to school or pick them up at the end of the day are welcome to do so!!
Parents/Guardians: Please impress upon your students the importance of ALWAYS using their Chromebook cases. The Chromebook Handbook https://bit.ly/3nXtu12 Section 2.3 says, "If a Chromebook is out of the case and damaged this voids the coverage under the technology insurance."
Senior/Senior Parent Reminder: Jostens will be here on Wed 12/2 to take senior orders. If you are a senior and you will not be coming in on 12/2 to drop off an order please remember to leave them in the admin. office on Mon 11/30 or Tues 12/1 and we will deliver to Jostens.
