Principal’s Bison Bulletin for December 21

Good evening!  This is Principal Hettenbach from High Point Central High School with a message from the Boulevard.

We hope everyone enjoys this upcoming break. We are so proud of the collective efforts of all stakeholder in all areas of this school.

We are now down to 7 instructional days remaining before we start exams. There is very little time left in our schedule so it is very important we focus on all tutoring opportunities available so we can finish the semester strong.

Our infamous EOC tutoring blitzes have started. As you have all seen our dramatic increases in state testing, these blitzes are one of the many reasons why we achieve the scores we do. These sessions are available in English II, Math 1, Math 3 and Biology. We had a good turnout for the last one. Please utilize these opportunities when we offer them.

Cell phone law is in effect starting January 1st.

I challenge everyone to be involved in their student’s academic progress. Please take a moment to create a Parent Assist account through Infinite Campus to monitor daily progress of your student.

Seniors and Early Grads should have ordered their caps and gowns. Please contact the front office at school with any questions if you have not and are unsure what to do.

Here is helpful information to assist all parents in getting a campus parent account. Here is another way as well. If you are still experiencing difficulty, please call the school. You can also download their app on an Iphone, IPad or Droid that looks like:

The Learning Hub is now in session on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30-6:00. The program offers flexible opportunities for students to receive academic and social-emotional supports, tutoring, and enrichment outside regular school hours. Learning Hubs will take place in the Media Center. • Students need to bring their ID cards • Transportation and food provided.

Parents/Guardians, as a gentle reminder, in order for a student to be checked out, he or she MUST be in Infinite Campus under contacts to do so. They also must have a valid ID. This is for the safety of your student. If you find an error, let’s work together to fix that issue so everything can run safely and smoothly.
