TTIPS Grant Update
The Survey link is now posted on our High Pointe website. Remember that there is some alarming language in the survey about closing the school. Keep in mind that we are applying for the Early Learning Grant and it is designed to prevent us from getting to the point of Reconstitution. So please take the time to do the survey this week. Attached to this email is note that was presented to our Board and Community.
Systems
Dress Code violations will be fully enforced this week!
Reminder: Make sure you are at your door greeting your students when they come in each morning. We did an excellent job this week of being present and working together.
