Dear Parents,
On this page you'll find information on our Virtual Learning Program. If you have any questions regarding your child's classes or assignments, please contact the teacher by email directly from the class website or on ClassDOJO (for T-5) or Bloomz (for Middle School).

We know these are difficult times we're all going through so we're going to make it as smooth as possible for you and your children. We're excited to welcome you all back "virtually" on Monday!
With love,
Your Highpoint Administration

SCHEDULE AND INSTRUCTIONS

VIRTUAL LEARNING PROGRAM (VLP)

Starting on Monday, 3/23, students must log-on to Zoom.us from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 Noon to communicate "live" with their Teacher.
Students must be prepared for virtual classes by sitting in a quiet area with their Computer/iPad, notebook/workbook, pen/pencil, etc. Please make sure that wi-fi is connected.
Students must wear their uniform top with a freshly washed face and groomed appearance.
Students will mind classroom behavior and NOT disrupt the learning experience by making noises or using the camera to distract others.
Computer or iPad microphones must remain MUTED until otherwise instructed by the teacher in order for students to be able to listen to the teacher at all times.

Download the Zoom App
We want to invite you to our new virtual classroom through Zoom. Students will be following their regular schedule and submit assignments through this portal by visiting their teacher's "Virtual Classroom". The App must be downloaded to the device the student is going to use. This can be a cellular phone, Tablet, or Computer with Video and Audio Capability. I ask that parents create their own account to facilitate the creation of parent group chats.Please sign up for a FREE Zoom account by clicking on this link: https://zoom.us/signup
