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.

  • Consequences for inappropriate use of iPad or cell phone may include detention, suspension or immediate expulsion. Inappropriate use of devices includes cyber-bullying, sexting, or threats of any kind to either another student or Highpoint Administrator, Faculty Member or Staff. 
  • Students using any chat room, including Snap Chat, Instagram, Twitter, Messenger, TikTok,  Facebook, Wickr Me, SnapSee, Cluster, Sweet Snap, Bigo Live, Marco Polo, Snow, B612, YouCam Perfect, or any other online forum to share inappropriate contents or to bully, cause fear, harass, or threaten others, both during school hours or before/after school, will face consequences that can include suspension or immediate expulsion.​

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.”
