See Mr. Sutton's message below:
Highland CUSD No. 5 Parents and Staff,
Due to the timing of the winter storm advisory in effect for tomorrow morning and throughout the day, Highland CUSD No. 5 will not be in session tomorrow, Friday, January 10. It was a challenging week with weather and the opening of a new school, but we knew what we had after the previous winter storm. The forecast presents an unknown for tomorrow and we will be cautious given the circumstances. Enjoy your weekend and hope to have a 5-day week next week!
Educationally Yours,
Michael S. Sutton, Superintendent
