⛈️ HEADS UP, WILDCAT FAMILIES! ⛈️
Highland Elementary will be conducting severe weather safety drills tomorrow, Thursday, August 20 as part of our ongoing efforts to make sure our students and staff know exactly what to do in the event of an emergency.
We know that drills can sometimes make younger children a little nervous, so we wanted to give families a heads up ahead of time. 💙
Tonight, you may want to talk with your child and remind them that:
🐾 It is only a practice drill. There is no actual emergency.
👂 Listen carefully to their teacher and follow directions.
🚶 Stay calm and move quietly to the designated safe area.
💙 Drills help keep us safe! Practicing means everyone will know what to do if severe weather ever occurs during the school day.
Our teachers and staff will guide students through the process calmly and carefully. Student safety is always our top priority at Highland Elementary!
Thank you for helping us prepare our Wildcats without creating unnecessary worry. 💙🤍

Through ongoing communication with Carissa’s parents, and in honoring their wishes for their daughter, the Johnson County School District asks our entire community to unite in support of her family.
We invite all students, staff, and community members to wear pink on Monday, August 17. Pink was Carissa’s favorite color, and wearing it together will serve as a symbol of our shared love, unity, and support.
Per her parents' wishes, all district schools—including Johnson County Middle School—will be in session on Monday. District flags will fly at half-staff in Carissa’s honor, and counselors and school psychologists will continue to be available in our schools to support our students and staff.
Please continue to keep Carissa’s family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this heartbreaking time.
