HMS Transitoning to Remote Learining on 1/18 & 1/19

Due to approximately 40% of the Highland Middle School staff facing quarantine due to illness, the decision has been made to transition to remote learning for two days (January 18th and 19th).  During the two days of “remote learning”, instruction and assignments can be found on Google Classroom.  HMS has invested significant time in teaching our kids how to utilize Google Classroom; now is the time we anticipate this investment will pay off.  Students can access Google Classroom via any device that connects to the internet including smart phones.

School will return to normal for HMS students on Thursday, January 20th.  

HMS will not be checking out Chromebooks for this short transition to remote learning.  For students who are not able to participate and complete assignments due to not having access to the internet or a computer device, ample time to complete the assignments upon the return to the traditional school day.  If at all possible, we want students to access Google Classroom on Tuesday and Wednesday to keep up with their learning and assignments.  However, if that isn’t possible, we will be very generous in the amount of time students will be given to catch up on the activities they were unable to complete.

Please know that this short transition to remote learning is for middle school students only; Highland High School and Highland Elementary School will have normal days on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Respectfully,
