Attention Varsity Football Parents, Guardians, Player, and Coaches
The following letter: https://bit.ly/3566xCl addresses information received regarding the MO Military Academy Football game tomorrow (9/5/10). Players and coaches will be addressed today at practice at 3:30pm.
UPDATE: Please read the following letter: https://bit.ly/332u197 regarding Highland's current procedures when determining whether to participate in activities or travel to other communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A new Federal Waiver should allow Highland to utilize the SFSP for FREE MEALS FOR ALL STUDENTS through December; however, there is an application which must be approved. LCC1 does not utilize the HS during summer school, so we are seeking assistance from the state. Update coming
REMINDER: Virtual Option Enrollment was extended, but ends Today (9/4) @ 3pm. The following agreement: https://bit.ly/350dMvU must be signed and turned in to the appropriate building for your child(ren). Remember, this is a semester long commitment & no activities.
Parents/Guardians: Highland Elementary had 4 staff members sent home today due to the possibility of close contacts with a person in a meeting who has tested positive for COVID. No students were exposed or sent home. The health department will determine if precautionary quarantines are necessary and for how long, just as they do for all students and staff. Again, please help everyone by staying home if you can’t pass the Daily Wellness Checklist.
HHS parents: For more information about the letter jackets being offered by Jostens please click the attached link.

https://bit.ly/34Aqhhf Please do not attend school or school events if you cannot honestly answer NO to ALL of the questions in the Checklist. It is imperative we work together to protect in-person school/activities
Congratulations to Noah Jones and Drew Mallett. Noah’s 90 yard kickoff return and Drew’s 30 points both tied school records in the Cougars 48-19 victory of Putnam County last Friday.
Mrs. Gray's virtual Computer Concepts students need to check their school email accounts for a Classroom invitation. Assignments have been posted in Classroom.
The V/JV softball games scheduled for today at Bowling Green have been postponed until tomorrow Wednesday 9/2 due to weather. Varsity starts at 5pm!
Parents/Guardians: There have been a few requests, since learning of the recent quarantining of additional HHS students, asking if they can still change to the virtual option. We are checking into our options regarding the possibility of extending the deadline to making that determination and will share that in the next couple of days; however, the reality is that the situation may make that decision for us. If an extension is to be granted, the last day to Opt for such a change would be amended to Friday at 3pm of this week. Again, this would be a semester commitment and it is not possible for students to go back and forth between being in person or virtual. If the district closes and utilizes distance learning or goes to a hybrid model, that does not cause students to lose their ability to participate in athletics/activities; however, opting for a virtual learning enrollment does remove the option for students to participate in any school activities.
