Mr. D's Dilema     

Recently I have been receiving Office Referrals with Think Sheets attached that date back to September. Please remember that with every new semester, the Think Sheet process starts new too. Also, look back at your collected Think Sheets prior to turning them in. Do they all make sense? Are all the Think Sheets signed or at least acknowledged by parents? Did the student complete or attempt to complete their part? Just a few things to think about so we can support you better!

Yes I Can! Winner   

Thank you to all who participated and assisted with High Point’s Yes I Can! Award ceremony this past Friday! The students were beaming and everything went off without a hitch. For those of you who weren’t able to attend the ceremony, the overall winner was for our Yes I Can! Award is Makayla Stephens! If you see Makayla in the hallway, please congratulate her on her accomplishments!

Makayla will go on to represent High Point at the Fulton County Yes I Can! Award ceremony where she will have her accomplishments read aloud and will receive a trophy!

The Services for Exceptional Children Team would love NOTHING more, than if you would join us in celebrating Makayla at the upcoming ceremony! The awards typically last around 1 hour and then light refreshments are served immediately after. Makayla has worked so hard and come so far, and she deserves to feel the love and support of her High Point family! Details for the ceremony are below and on the attached flyer. We hope to see you there!

Locking Classrooms   

Teachers, please consider locking your classrooms when you leave this Thursday! The building will be open for International Night and the Book Fair and the traffic of individuals back and forth may be heavy!

PreK Needs Your Recyclables  

Please save and donate paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls, shoe boxes (amazon boxes about that size, too) and any thing that you can imagine using in a creative craft!!  Our students are inquiring into the use of everyday objects and how creativity can change the way they function!  Share your recyclables with us and we'll share our creative uses of them with you!!!
