The way you and your team\/staff handled this was absolutely professional and flawless from the outsiders perspective.&nbsp; The text chain, to the way you all released the kids and follow up email with reassurance to all families that the children of Highland and their safety was always in complete control of a highly trained staff.  We could not be more thankful and grateful for the dedication and commitment to excellence that you and your team continuously exhibit.&nbsp; Please pass along to all our thanks for your professionalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robin and Lauren Brant<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sustainability-<\/strong>Please see message from Jackie Wilson, BLSD Sustainability Coordinator-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please see <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/181iMWGN0ZeVxcDgJNje4zdmwab5mc6Gx\/view?usp=sharing\">information about energy use in the district<\/a> and where all schools are in the ENERGY STAR ranking across the district.
