Early Dismissal
A reminder to parents that the final early dismissal date is Wednesday, May 9th. Students will be dismissed at 1:30 p.m. Expect your child home 2 hours earlier than normal.
School Community Council
The next meeting has been scheduled for May 14th at Highpoint School. Please plan to attend if you are able.
County Road Cleanup
On Tuesday May 8, 2012 a number of intermediate students at Highpoint School will be participating in a County Road Clean Up. Our territory will depend on the number of parent volunteers that we are able to secure in driving and transporting students to an assigned area. In previous years we were able to coordinate efforts to do a
region that extended south from Conn and north to Singhampton. It is through the active part in community cleanup that students become more aware of the benefits of reduce, reuse and recycle. It also helps us to become good global citizens in helping to take care of our urban, rural and wilderness environments. Needless to say, habitat improvement benefits everyone. Raindate will be Wednesday May 9, 2012.
Track and Field
Our Highpoint Track and Field Competition has been scheduled for May 16th. Students will be signing up for events during the week prior to the competition. Highpoint’s event is a ‘standards’ meet with all students competing to achieve a pre-set standard for their age group. Parents are welcome to come and watch.
The area Track & Field meet will be held at GHSS in Flesherton on June 13th.
Sun Safety
It is important that children’s skin is protected. Bad sunburn in childhood doubles the risk of skin cancer. Sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher is recommended. Please ensure that your child has a hat to protect their head from the sun.
