HMS Parents,
This week begins 2nd semester. I hope that everyone has had a great year so far. You may view your child’s 1st semester grades today by accessing their grades through PowerSchool. Just a reminder that we will no longer send individual midterms and quarterly report cards home through email as PowerSchool allows parents and students to gain immediate access to grades. Throughout the year, reminder messages will be emailed home alerting parents when midterm, quarter, and semester grades will be available to view. Please go to the following link to obtain your child’s 2nd Quarter and 1st semester grades:
https://ps.highlandcusd5.org/public/
If you are having trouble accessing PowerSchool, please call the HMS office at 651-8800 with questions or concerns.
Thanks so much,
Liz Weder
Principal
Highland Middle School
(618) 651-8800 ext 3202

Congratulations to the 7 Red award winners for 2nd Quarter!

We will send out a list of silent auctions available very soon. We will post a site later and send out to everyone, so you can bid online for any of the silent auctions. Ski will be provided for the evening, free of charge and while supplies last, with water, candy, and Chick-Fil-A chicken and fish sandwiches available to purchase.
