  Higher spin (HS) fields naturally occur in string theory, they are considered
as a candidate for dark matter and may also appear as a collective excitation
in condensed matter systems. In some cases one may study the HS fields in the
non-relativistic settings. Thus, it is of interest to know the non-relativistic
limit of HS fields and how to find the Schroedinger equation as the dynamical
equation in this limit. In this paper, we consider the non-relativistic limit
of HS fields in Minkowskian spacetime in 3D. We work both at the level of
equation of motion and action/Lagrangian density. We find the systematic
procedures in both settings and show that they can be generalized to arbitrary
HS fields.
