High Point Academy Updates
August 24, 2022
High Point Academy Community
A part of establishing routines is assuring that all members of our school community know what to do in the event that there is an emergency, so over the course of this week we will be running several of our safety drills. We will communicate with all of you through text about what is happening and when it is done. If the drills do cause any fear or anxiety for your child, please reach out to the homeroom teacher and we will make sure to connect them with a counselor/staff member who can help them process.
We have lots of information and updates outlined below. Please set aside a few minutes to read, and if you have any questions do not hesitate to reach out.
Have a great week!
