Highland Hills Afternoon Announcement for Wednesday, January 20, 2021
-
If you have chosen the in-person option for your student this quarter and they need to be absent from school, please call them in absent to the attendance line. You may also email our attendance clerk, Kate Burger: kburger@nafcs.org We ask that they log into Google Classroom and get their assignments. We are discouraging any in-person student from logging in to Google Meet when they are absent from school (unless they are under quarantine). The rationale behind this is due to safety concerns. We want to ensure that we have an accurate account of virtual and in-person students each day. In a school of over 1700 students, safety and accurate attendance taking are critically important. Thank you so much for your cooperation.

Congratulations to our 5th Grade Girls Basketball Team for completing their undefeated season this past weekend! The girls first took out Hazelwood with a 25 point victory. Then they followed that up with an epic come from behind 12 point victory over Scribner. The Lady Jaguars were held scoreless after the First Quarter, but their awesome team defense rose to the occasion and held Scribner to only 10 points in the final 3 Quarters. The team was led on defense and rebounding by Natalie Curtis and some great offensive scoring by Macy Sorg, Claire Vierling, and Lyla Jenks. This was a great overall season for our 5th grade team! Way To Go Lady Jaguars!!!

Please do not call your school building directly and ask for tech support. The options above are the best methods to make a request.

If the student is in-person at HHMS, have one of their teachers contact Lanny Howard to set up a time to be seen that school day. There are also paper copies of request forms to explain the situation that are available outside his office.
Good luck to any of our Jaguars that perform or play this evening.
Remember to STAY HUMBLE, WORK HARD, and BE KIND!
Thank you for doing the Best of Your Ability!
Have a great afternoon.
