Principal’s Bison Bulletin for February 9th

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

We are finally back in person. With all of the days we have missed, it is even that much more imperative to be on time, present in learning on a daily basis.

A huge thank you to our custodial services who worked hard and long hours to make sure sidewalks and entryways were safe. Thank you to Mr. Kay and Mr. Pacheco.

Please help me give a shout out to our amazing counseling staff as we just finished National Counselors Celebration week. We are so lucky to have Mrs. Evans, Mr. Hochreiter, Ms. Lindsay and Mrs. Torrence on the campus. They are 2nd to none!

During Black History Month, we recognize and celebrate the lasting contributions and achievements of African Americans. We would like to sincerely thank the committee for their leadership and dedication in organizing events and activities that bring this important celebration to life for our school. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

As many of you may know, March Madness is quickly approaching, where schools across Guilford County compete to see which school has the highest percentage of students completing the Shift-Ed Scholarship.

In support of this initiative, Shift-Ed and Ms. Hendricks will be hosting a Shift-Ed Scholarship Workshop on February 17th from 12:00–1:00 PM in Room 206. This workshop will provide students with hands-on support and guidance to help them successfully apply for the Shift-Ed Scholarship.

The first 30 students who register will receive a Chick-fil-A box lunch. If additional students sign up beyond that number, we will still accommodate them.

Please note that this workshop is open to seniors and early graduates only. Students who register will receive passes to attend the session.

Ms. Hendricks would truly appreciate your support in spreading the word to students and parents, as the Shift-Ed Scholarship is a valuable opportunity for our students.

The electronics law is in effect as of January 1st.

Seniors and Early Grads should have ordered their caps and gowns. Prices go up another $10 on March 1st. Please contact the front office at school with any questions if you have not and are unsure what to do.

This week we hold grade level class meetings. We will be reviewing school wide expectations and discussing additional items as well that include but are not limited to athletics, clubs, IB, JROTC.

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.

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 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.

Please link your Harris Teeter Vic card to High Point Central. Our number is 1084. LINKS= Dollars for HPC! The higher the link count the higher the earnings for HPC. You can link your card in the store by asking customer service or go to https://buff.ly/3OQ7V1w.
