Drama Club will have an informational meeting on Thursday, August 29th in room 108 (the Drama Room) from 3:45-4:15. All grades are welcome! If you have any questions ask Mrs. Burton, Mr. Friedman, Ms. Vegter or Mrs. Klemp.

7th and 8th grade Girls Volleyball Tryouts will be Monday (August 26) and Tuesday (August 27). Tryouts begin at 3:45 and last until 5:30. Anyone trying out is expected to attend both tryouts. If this is not possible, please contact your grade level coach to discuss it with them. In order to attend the tryouts, girls must have a signed permission slip with them (found on the Highland Athletics Website) and a current physical on file with the school nurse. The physical must be dated within the past 13 months. If you are not sure if your current physical is already on file, please check the list on the wall outside of the Nurse's office. If their name is NOT on the list, then their physical is NOT current. If you have any questions about the tryouts, you can contact the coaches (Mr. Carollo -7th grade or Mrs. Beshel- 8th) or the Athletic Director (Mrs. Langlie). Questions regarding physicals should be directed to the school nurse (Mrs. Patterson).

Reminder gold students will eat the first half of lunch period and Maroon students will eat the second half. 6th grade students buying lunch should have their temporary IDs that were distributed during Studio One with to buy lunch. 
 

Our District 70 school buses will be on the road beginning Aug. 21st - the first day of school. Please obey the law. 

In Illinois, all lanes of traffic in both directions must stop when a school bus is stopped to pick up or drop off kids while traveling along a two-lane road. This also applies to one-way streets no matter how many lanes of traffic.

On a four-lane road with at least two lanes moving in the opposite direction, only motorists going in the same direction as the bus are required to stop

For this week gold students will eat the first half of each lunch period and Maroon students will eat the second half. 6th grade students buying lunch should have their temporary IDs that were distributed during Studio One with them to buy lunch. 

• Aug. 21 - First day of school for students in 1st through 8th grades
