Mission Moment

Three smiling boys stand in a school hallway next to a tall, intricate structure made of wooden blocks.
3rd graders, Vincent, Kerem and Josiah get creative with blocks during Indoor recess.
Children gather on the floor in front of blue lockers, playing the board game Sorry!
Meanwhile 2nd graders, Izzy, Jasper, Emilia, Sammy and Amari are all enjoying a game of Sorry!
 
 

ATTENTION: 5th GRADE PARENTS:

MEMORY BOOK

The committee is working on putting together the 5th grade memory book, and needs your photos! 

We are looking for the following photos:

1) A baby picture of your child, as well as one from Kindergarten/early childhood.  

2) Photos of your kid's e-learning setup from Kindergarten (though we may have tried to erase those from our memories...)

3) Photos from school related events or outside of school photos of your kids with their school friends (maybe from birthday parties, sports, etc)

All photos can be sent to highlandmemory26@gmail.com

Thank You!

The BookMobile is at Payne Street and Keystone Avenue every Thursday from 3:00 to 4:00 pm. Every Highland student has a Skokie Public Library barcode for book checkout in coordination with the school.

Skokie residents can get a library card on the bookmobile. The library also offers free WiFi outside the bookmobile while it is parked at each community stop. You can come on board and browse books.

Holds pickup is also available if you requested "bookmobile” when you placed the hold on the Skokie Public Library website.
