Parents/Guardians - We have successfully received approval to begin administering the BinaxNow Antigen tests (not antibody). These are much less intrusive COVID tests that are highly reliable and available to LCC1 students & staff free of charge. They are only to be used in the first few days of experiencing symptoms, but they only require a LOWER NOSTRIL nasal swab and results are available in 15 minutes. Student tests must be administered at the Lewis County Health Department - please contact them at (573) 767-5312 to schedule a test.
HHS Greenhouse Poinsettias are now available. 6 inch pots with 1 stem are $4 and 8 inch pots with 3 plants are $8. Pots will be put in a foil cover with a plastic sleeve. Please contact Mrs. Hamlin at ahamlin@lewis.k12.mo.us to make arrangements to shop.

HIGHLAND HIGH SCHOOL PARENTS
Grades will be finalized for progress reports this Friday, November, 20th. Progress reports will be emailed at the beginning of next week. Progress reports mark the halfway point through the 2nd quarter. Your student will have 4 weeks left until the end of the 2nd quarter on 12/18/20.
Grades can be monitored weekly on the SIS parent portal. If you need more information on how to access the SIS parent portal please contact the high school office. Please check google classroom updates for assigned work while in distance learning and on distance learning days while we are utilizing the hybrid learning model. Additionally, you will need to check SIS to see if your student has completed all assignments while at school and at home for distance learning.
Please also check your email. Teachers email often with concerns that your student may need assistance in completing work. Please call or email your child’s teachers with any questions or concerns.
Finally, thank you all for your hard work during this time. We do appreciate and understand that distance learning is quite the adjustment and at times very difficult for families. Please reach out to us if you need assistance. We continue to have tutoring daily for students that need help at the high school. Your student may attend tutoring with any teacher after school from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Thanks again and have a good evening.

Any parent not wanting to have their child held for a bus may contact the child’s attendance center and arrange to pick their child up.
