New "Learning Program" options

Parents were recently offered the option for students to transition back to "On Campus" learning starting Monday, November 9th. The majority of our Parents submitted their request (see chart below) and most of our students will be transitioning to "On Campus" learning. Parents that are opting to have their child remain at home for now, we're offering a "Partial Virtual" (PV) learning option as follows:

Teachers will be communicating with these students via Zoom for 15 to 30 minutes three (3) times per day during scheduled times.
In the morning, Teachers will provide students with instructions and assignments for the day. In mid-day they will go over the morning classes and review work completed. In the afternoon, they will review the day, including classwork and homework assignments.
Teachers will not be with the PV students on Zoom throughout the day, only during their scheduled times.
An email will be sent to the parents of the PV students in each class indicating the exact times that these students must log on every day.

REMEMBER.. If we have a COVID positive case at school, then everyone that was in "close contact" with that person will immediately be required to transition to "Virtual Learning" during the 14-day quarantine period, based on CDC and Dept of Health instructions and guidelines. We need all our Highpoint families to maintain safety protocols at home also. Let's ALL do our part to keep our children, our teachers and our families safe!

2nd Quarter PROGRAM OPTIONS:
OC = "On Campus"
VL = "Virtual Learning"
PV = "Partial Virtual"

CONCIERGE SERVICE" for STUDENT DROP-OFF and PICK-UP:

All our "On-Campus" students are assigned specific "time blocks" for both drop-off and pick-up. This results in no long lines or waiting times in the driveways. Parents don't get out of their cars at any time so they can get to work on time.
Our Team of Administrators welcome the students in the mornings and assist them as they get out of their vehicles while Parents are asked Covid related questions.
Once student enters reception area, the digital facial recognition scanner takes their body temperature before allowing them entry into the Campus. Students then walk directly to their classrooms where their teacher is waiting for them.
In the afternoons, students are ready at their scheduled dismissal "time block." Administrators once again assist them as they safely get inside their vehicles. Students enter and exit their vehicles within a few minutes under our covered roof area (porte cochere.) Social Distancing is maintained at all times.

ELECTIONS 2020
Our Highpoint students and Teachers VOTED on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3rd. They bubbled in their ballots privately and learned about the importance of voting and the privilege of living in a democratic country! #highpointpride

OUR STEAM PROGRAMS

STEAM LEARNING AND ROBOTICS

In K-8 we incorporate fun based learning that seamlessly integrate the components of STEAM - Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math - with the 4C skills of Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking and Creativity. Our Students are 21st Century learners!

Our "Mindfulness" Program

Every morning, our Teachers will be doing breathing relaxation exercises and playing classical music to help our Students stay in the present and relax. Classical music will also be played during all Tests/Quizzes throughout the year! Teachers will also be discussing our monthly "Mantras" with their students.

Mantra: "I can get through anything!"

"No act of forgiveness, no matter how small, is ever wasted."

SCHOOL SAFETY IS A PRIORITY

THE SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS
IS A PRIORITY!

We've taken numerous measures to secure our Campus. This includes keeping the front door locked with a "Ring" audio/video system, installing new fencing and new locks on all gates, installing new high def 24/7 surveillance cameras in all exterior areas and in the interior of many 1st thru 8th Grade classrooms.

Teachers have also received extensive training and have attended important workshops on Code Red situations.
