CORONAVIRUS SITUATION
The COVID-19 WORLDWIDE PANDEMIC has presented all of us with very difficult, unpredictable, and trying times. We have no choice but to take this situation one day at a time, preparing for the worst but hoping for the best. We appreciate your cooperation and support as we transition to a temporary new way of teaching and learning. As soon as we're told that it's safe to resume with regularly scheduled classes at our Campus, we will announce it.

ABOUT OUR VIRTUAL LEARNING PROGRAM
Thankfully, we have this great website for our families and our school is high tech so both students and parents are all familiar with our website, ipad functions, online programs, e-books, messaging on ClassDojo, Bloomz and more. Our faculty has been preparing for teaching virtually and they’re ready to deliver a quality educational experience with engaging remote interactions. We’ll be adapting our class schedules and instruction methods to meet the needs of our students, so they may continue to grow and learn remotely. Our main priority is for our students and Parents to be safe and healthy. We want them to be engaged and occupied and to feel that their Teachers care about them and will do everything possible to help them continue learning and growing. Your cooperation is essential to make this work. Your health and safety are our #1 priority. WE ARE #HIGHPOINTSTRONG! Thank you all!

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've got this!"

"A winner is a dreamer who NEVER GIVES UP."
~Nelson Mandela

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.
