In an effort to help provide nutrition to our students while school is out of session, the Johnson County School district will be offering meal pickups for our students. Breakfast and lunch meals will be available for pickup on Monday, January 13 from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. Meals may be picked up for any Johnson County student at any of our schools with the exception of JCHS.
If you would like to participate in the meal pickups, please complete the following form so that we can better ensure we have enough meals prepared.
Highland Elementary will use the front entrance for meal pickups.

4th grade has worked so hard during NTI days! We finally remembered to snap a few pictures today during our Google Meet. It's been wonderful to see their smiling faces!
Way to go Mrs. Bevins' class! We had great participation on our meet today. I loved getting to see all those smiling faces! Of course we had to do a silly face picture too. ❤️
The school is open for anyone who needs to pick up Chromebooks!

Update from Mr.Cochran this morning!
Let’s continue with NTI today. We will have a regular snow day tomorrow - so hopefully many will have their power back on- those who can do Google meets, continue with them- those who can’t, if work is posted- let them just finish without the meets; allow tomorrow (Tuesday) to finish any of today's work or class assignments.
