Higher Education Day,
Dear Highland Junior Students, Families of Junior Students, & Highland colleagues,
For the first time since the spring of 2019, we will be offering Higher Ed Day (really Higher Ed morning), for our junior students at Highland on Wednesday, March 16th, from 9 to 11 am. Juniors will report to their first-hour class, and when it is announced on the intercom at about 8:50, they will go to the first of three sessions of their choosing. Presentations will be made in locations throughout school (if possible, we’d like presenters to have access to technology and projection) and we are grateful to teachers and staff for allowing us to use their spaces. The schedule is below, as is a list of our presenters.
This is such a good opportunity for our junior students, and we understand and appreciate that it will be disruptive to those who teach juniors and to the rest of the staff who are trying to teach during the 1st and 2nd hours that day. You might want to keep your classroom doors closed on Wednesday morning because the kiddos will be in the halls – no doubt discussing their futures and college plans. Students will stay in their third session until the bell for the start of the third hour, at 11:07. We are sure that as students pass in the hall, they will be considerate of their teachers and classmates by their respectful behavior. And we don’t want students wandering the halls after their third session; we’ll do our best to keep noise and disruption to a minimum throughout the morning.
All juniors are expected to participate and attend (we’ll use QR codes in each room to know who was present and then Google will amalgamate names and attendance). We will post the schedule and the presenters on the Junior Google classroom, will send a brief reminder text to families, and will post the presenters and their locations throughout the school. We are very very grateful for your help and support in this endeavor. Below is the schedule and the list of presenters; we will finalize locations early next week.
