for the latest update from Superintendent Sutton regarding COVID-19 (Also www.highlandcusd5.org)

Due to expected wintery mix in the noon hour, Highland CUSD No. 5 will be closed today, January 17th. This is a difficult decision, but early dismissal creates many issues for many parents. Thank you and have a great day!

Good afternoon,
I encourage everyone to monitor the weather conditions tomorrow and have a plan should school be dismissed early. We will try to avoid early dismissal, but conditions may necessitate it. As always, safety will be our number one priority!

Update: The school parking lots and walkways are mostly clear right now, but refreezing tonight may present some slick areas tomorrow morning. Please be safe when walking and driving through our parking lots. Country roads are not great, but school will be in session tomorrow.

Our custodians and maintenance folks are working to clear parking lots and walkways today. There is a lot of snow so I am sure some areas will be a little tricky. We fully expect school to be in session tomorrow. Please dig your cars out and be prepared. Be safe!

I am getting questions about programs, activities, etc. Building administrators will be sending information regarding cancellations and reschedule dates. Thanks.

The previous message should have been December 17th. Sorry!

Good evening,
Highland Community Unit School District Number 5 will not be in session tomorrow, Tuesday, December 16. We are hopeful that school will be in session Wednesday through Friday. Have a great evening!

Highland CUSD No. 5 will not be in session tomorrow, Monday, December 16th due to the inclement weather.

Officer Flake speaking to our kids about school safety!


Good morning Highland CUSD No. 5.
This is a reminder that the registration window is open until July 20. Please be sure to complete registration for the 2019/2020 school year.

Students have been dismissed and buses will run several minutes late. Thank you for your patience! Safety is not always convenient, but I am hopeful all kids are safe due to the diligence of our staff. Thank you.

Due to ongoing weather conditions, buses may be running late as we try to navigate the severe storms passing through. Please be patient as we try to exercise caution in getting all kids home safely. Many kids are currently being held at school until it is safe to proceed.

I am pleased to recognize Camden M. as Superintendent's Student of the week! Camden has been an excellent role model for his peers and makes good behavioral decisions. Congratulations for being a valuable citizen at Highland Primary!


This is a final reminder for Kindergarten call in registration. If you have a child that will turn 5 on or before September 1, 2019, please call your school office, Highland Primary 618-654-2107 or Alhambra Primary 618-488-2200 so they can be included in the upcoming Kindergarten Visitation. Class lists will be created beginning next week. Thank you.

Due to the freezing drizzle and the timing of the current weather, Highland CUSD No. 5 will not be in session today, Thursday, February 28. This call must be made before buses get out on the roads and it is uncertain what the conditions will be in the next few hours. Thanks
