HHS May 22-May 26 Letter from Administration



Dear Parent/Guardian, Student, and Highland Ram Supporter,

This will be the last newsletter until August.  In August you will hear from our administration again informing you of important dates as the school year begins.  

Highland seeks to continually improve.  Please take a couple of minutes and fill out the following survey indicating areas you feel we can be better.  Your responses are anonymous.  We appreciate your feedback.

Our spring extra curricular's finished up their seasons this past week.  Each program did extremely well and had great seasons.  We are proud of all of them.  Baseball finished the year as 5A Academic State Champions!  Track & Field along with Tennis had multiple student-athletes go to state and place.  Softball went all the way to Coeur d'Alene to compete at state and played hard.  Girls Golf won the state championship!  Business Professionals of America competed at Nationals in Orlando, FL and did amazing things.  We are so proud of each of these students and their coaches!

On Tuesday 5/23/17 we will take time to recognize the different spring programs on their successful seasons.   

The schedule on Tuesday will be the following:  

1st 8:32-9:40
Assembly 9:45-10:15
2nd 10:20-11:28
3rd 11:33-12:41
Lunch: 12:41-1:16
4th 1:21-2:29
5th 2:34-3:42

With just a few days left we wanted to remind students and parents of expectations for finals.

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.  

The question then becomes, "Can I check my student out during finals?"  The answer is, not during class time.  If there is an emergency then school administration will determine how to respond and will work with those involved.  Dental appointments or other doctor appointments do not count as emergencies and the school expectation is that these appointments will need to be rescheduled when they do not infringe on the time dedicated for finals.  Please call the school and speak with school administration with questions or concerns.    

We appreciate your support and understanding with this adjustment. 

Here is the Finals Schedule:
