See the following message from Mr. Sutton:
Highland CUSD No. 5,
It is unusual to send anything out when school will be in session, as it will be for tomorrow, but I wanted to thank our township road folks and district personnel who worked crazy hard over the past couple of days to make it possible to return to school. While roads and walkways are not perfect, we can get kids to and from school safely with everyone’s cooperation. Please be safe, as we will be asking our bus drivers to slow down and make sure stops are safe for everyone. I have had numerous conversations with our bus company and building officials to ensure that our buses are ready to go and our campuses are ready for parents and students.
If you prefer to keep your student home, we respect your decision as a parent, and the absence will be excused. If you choose to drive your student to school, please know that tardies will be excused if due to traffic or delays. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to safely return students to school tomorrow.
