Highland Parents and Staff,
Due to the expected severe storms across the area this afternoon, we will be dismissing middle and high school students at 12:45 p.m. All primary and elementary students will be dismissed at 1:25 p.m. Parents who wish to pick up kids are encouraged to do it early and not during storms. We will continue to watch weather and avoid dismissing students if dangerous conditions exist. Please be patient as we work through procedures to deliver your students home safely. Thank you.
Parents and Staff,
The timelines for this afternoon’s severe weather have changed to potentially coincide with school dismissal times. We will consider the best possible action including dismissing early or holding students if it is not safe to dismiss. Any decisions to change times will be promptly communicated. Please monitor communication lines from the school. Thank you.
Due to weather conditions, all athletic events are cancelled today.
