Dear HHES Parents:
I wanted to follow up with you regarding the cougar sighting at HHES earlier today.
Three officers from The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife joined us this afternoon to search the forest along the northern edge of our campus. After their two dogs (Shelby and Andy) performed an extensive 45-minute search, the officers determined that the cougar was no longer in the area. As a precaution, though, tomorrow we will keep students within the bounds of our upper playground. No students will be allowed to go to the lower fields or campus fringes. HHES staff will monitor the campus throughout the day.
The safety of our students and staff is a top priority at HHES and we will continue to follow our HSD safety protocols and to adapt as new circumstances arise. We want to thank the Department of Fish and Wildlife for their assistance in keeping our campus safe for our hornet students. Please feel free to reach out to me or Mr. Olson if you have any questions or concerns.

HHES Parents:
We want to make you aware that this morning Mr. Olson and I received a report of a cougar in the field behind the school. We immediately moved recess indoors and contacted the Clark County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
We have initiated a modified Hold protocol for the remainder of the school day. All recesses will be held indoors and movement between school buildings will be limited for the rest of the day. We have staff members monitoring the field area where the animal was spotted. The Department of Fish and Wildlife will be sending support staff to our campus to assist us.
We want to thank our HHES staff for their prompt reporting and action to ensure our students’ safety. At this time, we anticipate that school will remain in session until regular release time today and that school will be in session tomorrow.
I will update you as additional information becomes available.
