Please keep Jessica Epstein and her family in your thoughts as she
was put on bed rest this past Tuesday. Currently, she and the baby are doing
fine which is great news! She is at Piedmont Hospital and she welcomes
visitors! You can call or text her to let her know you are coming. Please email
Pitchford if you would like her number. We will keep you posted on her and the
baby’s progress.

Please keep Derick and his entire family in your thoughts as his brother passed away last week. We will keep you informed regarding the funeral arrangements and if there is anything we can do to support him through this tough time.

Technology Tuesdays will be held on December 17th in place of your grade level meeting. Please make sure you have signed up using the link that was sent out! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Jennifer Taylor, Vera Woods, Chellye Pomeroy,
or Gray Griffith.
Technology Tip for the Week! Wireless vs. Wired:
Wireless is typically meant to be used for a meeting in a different room or building, etc. and is very handy at home on the sofa but keep in mind the way data travels— more reliable and better speed will be with the network cable.

DONORS CHOOSE!
AT&T is offering a donation match program through the end of
the year for schools. Donors Choose is a website where teachers can post needs or
projects to be funded and people can donate. Through the end of the year anyone
who donates and enters the promo code ATT - AT&T will match that donation.
Currently HighPoint does not have any project posted to donate to and AT&T is willing to donate! If you are
interested in this process, go to the following link:
Thank you to Rebecca Quist for reminding us of this great program! If you have any additional questions, you are more than welcome to ask Rebecca or Carrie.

PBIS This Week!
Quote of the Week:
"When disciplining students, we must
remember the iceberg behavior is simply an overt manifestation of many
underwater worldview components."
Don't forget:
- Do you have a student of the week?
- Have you sent a student a postcard recently?
- Celebrate PAWS Up behavior!! Thanks for the PAWS Up forms we have received last week!
