If you drive by the school and see the marquee, you'll see it's gotten stuck in it's own little version of Groundhog Day and has reverted to messages from February. Technology teams are working on it, but we aren't sure when the Groundhog Day loop will end and new info will reappear. Thanks for laughing with us and being patient as they work out the kinks.

As we head back to school tomorrow, take some time to review the Highland Handbook. There have been some new laws passes by the state legislature and some clarifications from the district. These are detailed in the dress code and electronic communication device pages. We'd also like you to take note of the drop-off areas. With the back drop-off still under construction there will be increased traffic in our front drop-off areas.

Kindergaten and 1st Grade Pick-Up Info - Please respond

IMPORTANT REMINDER: As the new school year begins, please be aware that there will be a lot of additional traffic around our school properties, especially during drop-off and pick-up times. This will be particularly noticeable during the first few weeks of school as we welcome students and as families settle into routines. Please be extremely patient, and remember to put the safety of all students first.

Ever wonder what happens at the school during the summer? Our custodial crew does a lot! They deep clean classrooms, clean the carpets, replace lights, wax the hall floors, and maintain equipment, playgrounds, grounds and more. This summer we're also getting new kitchen equipment and flooring, the second half of our HVAC upgrade, and new network wiring. We are thankful to have such a great custodial staff and for the district making all of this possible.
