"High Point Elementary cultivates knowledgeable, compassionate, and inquiring learners who impact a diverse global community."

*********************************************************************
Soccer Goals
Sandy Springs Park and Recreation have purchased two VERY EXPENSIVE soccer goals for our students. Please make sure you are reminding students to stay off the nets. If they hang on them, they will not last as long. Thank you for your help in monitoring these goals and keeping them looking brand new! 

*********************************************************************
Paraprofessional Meeting for PKES
All paraprofessionals and classified staff members, please plan on meeting in room #123 to review our school's beliefs as well as information pertaining to PKES. The meeting will be from 3:00-3:30. Thank you! 

*********************************************************************
Attendance

Homeroom teachers, please make sure you are monitoring students' absences/tardies and notifying parents of your concern prior to contacting Hutchins. Teachers should contact Hutchins after a child has more than 5 absences or 15 tardies. 
The number of absences accumulated by grade level is below for your information.

STEAM Day
STEAM day was another huge success! Students were engaged, laughing, creating, exploring, discovering, and learning more about science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Thank you to Sheri Hess, Alyssa Davis, and Buffy Miller for being able to pull off such an amazing event! We also want to thank all the teachers and staff for their hard work and support in this powerful day!

Kona Ice
This is just a friendly reminder of the criteria for our Star IB students and when the attendance cycles will be.

The following criteria is needed for a student to be considered a STAR IB student at High Point:

  • No absences, tardies, or early pick-ups during the attendance cycle
  • Students must consistently exhibit the IB learner profile traits and be a role model for the class

Seven students (one from each grade level) will be randomly chosen from the slate of selected STAR IB students who fit the initial criteria. Each of the seven students will receive a STAR IB T-shirt, Kona Ice cup, High Point IB pencil, and a STAR IB blue bracelet! All other STAR IB students will receive a blue IB bracelet!

The attendance cycles are below:
January 9th ( attendance dates from November 7th – January 9th )
February 28th (attendance dates from January 10th-February 28th)

May 8th (attendance dates from March 2nd-May 8th)


*********************************************************************
Save the Date!
Our amazing PTO will be sponsoring our Holiday Staff Party on December 12th from 3:00-5:00 at Southern Bistro. The sign-up is located by the mailboxes. Thank you for signing up by December 9th so we can have a headcount for food and drinks.
