Reminder: Bus 15 Alva Farr, bus 17 Tanya Austin, and bus 22 Cindy Adams will all be run late this afternoon due to a bus driver shortage. Parents are welcome
to pick their students up if they don’t want them to stay late at school.
Juniors will be taking the ASVAB this week. The ASVAB is an aptitude test proctored by the military. This test provides students with careers that match their strengths. Students will use their own chromebooks, so please charge them the night before testing. Temperatures will also be taken before testing per ASVAB testing requirements. Students who attend on gold days will test tomorrow, Tuesday, Dec. 1 and brown day attending students will test on Thursday, Dec. 3 both dates starting at 8:15 in the Media Center.
Due to the Covid 19 pandemic the Varsity girls and boys basketball games scheduled for tomorrow at Louisiana have been cancelled. Reschedule date is pending. The JV games scheduled for tomorrow at Louisiana WILL be played as scheduled.
Just a reminder that due to a bus driver shortage bus 2 Debbie Schaffer will be ran as a secondary route today which means all students on that route will be picked up approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes late this morning and dropped off late this afternoon as well. Parents are welcome to drop off or pick up their students if they choose to.
LCC1 is in session as planned tomorrow with HES in full schedule & HHS in Hybrid (except students with an F attend all 5 days). We are short drivers, so please see the earlier announcement regarding some late pickups and drop offs.
Good evening Highland JR/SR High parents and guardians. I wanted to remind everyone that we will be on a hybrid schedule next week:
Brown Day: Monday/Thursday and Gold Day: Tuesday/Friday.
Also, if your student has an F in any class they will be required to attend Monday- Friday for the remainder of the semester. Please call the office or email if you have any questions.
Thanks and have a good evening.
Please remember bus 15 Alva Farr and bus 22 Cindy Adam’s will be picked up in the morning late and dropped off late in the afternoon. Those wishing to bring their students to school or pick them up at the end of the day are welcome to do so!!
Parents/Guardians: Please impress upon your students the importance of ALWAYS using their Chromebook cases. The Chromebook Handbook https://bit.ly/3nXtu12 Section 2.3 says, "If a Chromebook is out of the case and damaged this voids the coverage under the technology insurance."
Senior/Senior Parent Reminder: Jostens will be here on Wed 12/2 to take senior orders. If you are a senior and you will not be coming in on 12/2 to drop off an order please remember to leave them in the admin. office on Mon 11/30 or Tues 12/1 and we will deliver to Jostens.
The Texas Medical Association recently published the following Know Your Risk During COVID-19 Document: https://bit.ly/3nQjuq6. The full article can be read here: https://bit.ly/33hT7lk.
Everyone please remember that the mask mandate & new rules only work if everyone is wearing their masks properly! This PDF https://bit.ly/3kEvJ74 shows the impact masking has on who will still get quarantined & who can still attend school under the new quarantine protocols.
LCC1 will once again offer a Virtual Option of enrollment during the 2nd semester for students who demonstrated success under this enrollment option during 1st semester OR for current in-person learning students who wish to switch due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic. Please submit a form at https://forms.gle/NxiGRTYZmvgkzinb9
to start the enrollment process. There is a Consent Form that must still be completed and turned in to the office, which will be accessible at the end of the survey once you actually submit. Consent Forms & Enrollment must be completed by January 8th to be enrolled in the full Virtual Option for 2nd Semester!
Happy Thanks-Ween 🎃🦃
Mrs. Lyon’s class had an unusual celebration today!!
Due to a shortage of bus drivers students riding bus 15 (Alva Farr) and students riding bus 22 (Cindy Adams) this afternoon will be dropped off approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes later than normal. These students will be held at their respective attendance centers until a bus is available to drop them off. Parents who do not want their student to be dropped off late may pick their students up this afternoon. Thank you for your patience in these difficult times.
