SCHOOL PORTRAITS
Although we're extremely grateful to our dear friend Raul Rodriguez from R & R Studios, who has been our loyal photographer for over 25 years, this year he will only be taking pictures of our events. We have contracted a very reputable company called Lifetouch, to take individual School Portraits of our students this school year.  
We celebrated "GRANDPARENTS DAY" on September 15th by honoring them with a fun interactive event called "JUEGUITOS CON ABUELITOS."
Our students enjoyed playing games, chatting, and laughing with their beloved Grandparents, the unsung heroes of their lives. Their wisdom, unconditional love, and timeless stories, make a huge difference in the lives of those around them. ​
​THANK YOU HIGHPOINT GRANDPARENTS!
Our PTO's "MEET & GREET PARENT SOCIAL" was a huge success! 
​Our 8th Graders offered babysitting and kept our students entertained while our parents mingled, danced to great music, got to know each other, shared time with our Admin Team, and had a great time!  It was truly a memorable night for all!  Thank you PTO Board for organizing this event.
"FUN FALL FRIDAY" ahead for our Toddlers, Jr. Pre-K, VPK, and Kindergarten students.
As a Bilingual School,
​we proudly celebrate "HISPANIC HERITAGE" every year during the month of October.
We all have lots of fun role-playing and celebrating HALLOWEEN every 31st day of October.
Advertise your business and support our PTO! Limited amount of Banners will be placed on our main entrance fence all year.  Order your Banner today!

​Highpoint's HEALTH & SAFETY POLICIES
WE MADE LOTS OF IMPROVEMENTS THIS SUMMER. ​OUR CAMPUS LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!
We had quite a busy summer making upgrades. Our Campus looks beautiful! We painted the entire school inside and out, installed a beautiful LED name sign to replace one (that was 35 years old!), widened our walkways, and made lots of other great improvements!

OUR HEALTH SECTION
COVID VARIANTS & FLU PROTOCOLS:
The safety of all our Highpoint Families remains a priority for us.  We will continue to take every precaution possible as we follow the CDC's Operational Guidance for K-12 Schools and Early Care and Education Program to Support Safe In-Person Learning.
Given new evidence on the B.1.617.2 (Delta) variant, CDC has updated the guidance for fully vaccinated people. CDC recommends universal indoor masking for all teachers, staff, students, and visitors to K-12 schools, regardless of vaccination status. CDC says COVID variant EG.5 is now dominant, including strain some call "Eris". However, Governor DeSantis signed into law a Bill prohibiting both public and private schools from mandating use of masks or vaccination; (see below.)

KEY POINTS:
  • People who are infected but asymptomatic or people with mild COVID-19 should isolate through at least day 5 (day 0 is the day symptoms appeared or the date the specimen was collected for the positive test for people who are asymptomatic). They should wear a mask through day 10. A test-based strategy may be used to remove a mask sooner.
  • People with moderate or severe COVID-19 should isolate through at least day 10. Those with severe COVID-19 may remain infectious beyond 10 days and may need to extend isolation for up to 20 days.
  • People who are moderately or severely immunocompromised should isolate through at least day 20. Use of serial testing and consultation with an infectious disease specialist is recommended in these patients prior to ending isolation.

NOTE: 
On May 11, 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed Senate Bill 252, Protection from Discrimination Based on Health Care Choices, into law. The bill, enrolled as Chapter 2023-43, included the following requirements for all public and private school institutions in the State of Florida.
  • Section 381.00319(2)(a), F.S.
    • An educational institution may not impose a mandate on any person requiring vaccination with any vaccine defined under s. 381.00319(1), F.S.
  • Section 381.00319(3)(a), F.S.
    • An educational institution may not require a person to wear a face mask, a face shield, or any other facial covering that covers the mouth and nose.
    • An educational institution may not deny any person access to, entry upon, service from, or admission to such educational institution or otherwise discriminate against a person based on such person’s refusal to wear a face mask, a face shield, or any other facial covering that covers the mouth and nose.
  • Section 381.00319(4)(a), F.S.
    • Notwithstanding s. 768.39, F.S., the Department of Health may impose an administrative fine not to exceed $5,000 for each individual and separate violation of this section.

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: Mindset is everything!
“Children are to be respected and I respect them dearly.
​They've taught me an awful lot.”
