Dear Highland Primary and Highland Elementary Families,
Highland Primary (K-2 only) and Highland Elementary will use the online Power PTC program https://www.powerptc.net/powerptc/ to schedule this fall's Parent-Teacher Conferences. Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 29, from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Friday, October 30, from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
Power PTC will open Thursday, October 8, at 4:00 PM and remain available through 11:00 PM Friday, October 23. Families will receive two emails on October 8 – the first containing an activation code and the second with information for accessing and using the system. Only one code is necessary per family, as multiple students may be added to a single account.
Our goal is to make the conference scheduling process as convenient as possible. Please contact the appropriate building office if assistance is needed.
Thank you,
Highland CUSD #5

Today the St. Louis Cardinals program brought Al Hrabosky and Fred Bird to speak with our kids about teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership. They shared real‑life stories and practical tips that inspired everyone in the audience. Our students also participated in an essay contest, reflecting on what teamwork means to them.
A big thank you to Al Hrabosky, Fred Bird, and the St. Louis Cardinals program for visiting and inspiring our students!
Fredbird will be visiting our school TOMORROW! Students, wear a Cardinal's shirt or red to show your RED BIRD pride and welcome our special guest. Cardinal's hats may be worn as well. Let's make it a day to remember!
