      Clever Portal
     
    You can access several online resources through the Clever Portal above.  Highland encourages the use of Imagine (literacy or math) and Achieve 3000 (Grades 3-5).  
     
    If you have not previously logged into your child's Google account on your home device, you will initially "log in through google" using your child's full school Gmail address.  (It will not work using a parent's gmail account.)  Once this information is entered, it will prompt you to enter your child's google username and password.  
     
    Technology Support through ABSS
     
    If you need any usernames/passwords, please contact your child's teacher directly.  Please allow a grace period for teacher response to these requests as it does take time.

      2020-2021 School Year

      Walkers

      At this time, we will allow morning walkers only.  Walkers should follow the sidewalk along the car rider line and wait to be directed across our crosswalk.  Parents may walk with their child up to the crosswalk.  While on campus all persons should wear a mask and socially distance at least 6ft from non-family members.  

       

      We will make a determination later in the school year if we are able to allow afternoon walkers to dismiss.  For now, all students will be dismissed either by car or bus.
