Please note we will only be doing changes for 2nd trimester to help as many students as possible during their personal time. It is likely students may have to wait in line more than once if the bell rings for class while they are in line and they need to leave. Please be patient.
Students with "See Counselor" in their schedule will be pulled in by their counselor to fill in these spots in their schedule.
We’re Heading West (Um, Northwest)—College & Career advisors
On Friday, November 9th, a veritable busload of students and staff are going to have a day of college visits, first to the College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls in the morning, and then on to Boise State University in the afternoon and evening. We will tour both schools, meet with enrollment, and enjoy on-campus experiences, including a home football game at Boise State (woo hoo!). It will be a full day, up and back before the sun comes up on Saturday morning.
Thanks to all families who support Highland students. Remind them to use the resources and good people who stand ready to support students and families right here at school.

OTHER IMPORTANT EVENTS
Reminder of Picture Retakes on Wednesday 11/8/18.
A reminder that first trimester finals will occur on Monday November 19th and Tuesday November 20th, 2018.
After
meeting with administration from the different high schools, and the district
office, the following has been decided regarding finals.
Students will not, under any
circumstances, be able to take finals earlier than the dates assigned.
We understand that there
will be extenuating circumstances due to medical, legal or other events that
infringe on this time that cannot be controlled or determined. As a result,
students who may be gone during any of their finals have the first week of school
after finals, until November 30th, 2018, to make up what they have
missed. This time must be setup by the student with the teacher of the class of
the final the student missed. Teachers are required to submit grades for the
first trimester by November 26th, 2018. As a result, students who
miss their finals will be recorded as having a score of 0 on their final. After
the student makes up the final they have missed a grade change will be
submitted.
Reminder to students and
parents that the expectation for finals is that students will remain in class
during finals and will not be able to checkout during class time. This time has
been reserved for students to complete finals and will be protected as such.
This will minimize distractions and create the best possible environment
for assessment. All the high schools in the district seek academic
excellence and creating an appropriate environment for assessment is essential
in helping students perform at their best.
We appreciate your support and understanding. Please contact school administration with any questions or concerns.
