HIGHLAND HIGH SCHOOL PARENTS
Grades will be finalized for progress reports this Friday, November, 20th. Progress reports will be emailed at the beginning of next week. Progress reports mark the halfway point through the 2nd quarter. Your student will have 4 weeks left until the end of the 2nd quarter on 12/18/20.
Grades can be monitored weekly on the SIS parent portal. If you need more information on how to access the SIS parent portal please contact the high school office. Please check google classroom updates for assigned work while in distance learning and on distance learning days while we are utilizing the hybrid learning model. Additionally, you will need to check SIS to see if your student has completed all assignments while at school and at home for distance learning.
Please also check your email. Teachers email often with concerns that your student may need assistance in completing work. Please call or email your child’s teachers with any questions or concerns.
Finally, thank you all for your hard work during this time. We do appreciate and understand that distance learning is quite the adjustment and at times very difficult for families. Please reach out to us if you need assistance. We continue to have tutoring daily for students that need help at the high school. Your student may attend tutoring with any teacher after school from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Thanks again and have a good evening.
