Highland CUSD No. 5 Parents and Staff,
I have been waiting for the forecasts to change throughout the day, but it appears a very consistent message is that rain will change to ice and/or heavy accumulations of snow early tomorrow morning. Rather than wait for the change to occur, we are canceling school tomorrow, Wednesday, February 2nd. If projections hold true, likelihood of becoming clear on Thursday is low. I plan to release additional updates tomorrow including whether school will be in session on Thursday and/or Friday. I hope the snow provides some good sledding opportunities, stay safe and enjoy the day off!
