Principal’s Bison Bulletin for May 18th

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

We only have 10 days of full instruction left. Have you seen your students’ grades lately. Please do so if you have not. Do you have any concerns, or needs for your student considering we are close to the finish line? Within this blog, you will find the testing schedule along with State testing tutorials offered in Biology, Math 1 Math 3, English 10. These sessions have shown dramatic growth for any students who have attended these sessions. Students enrolled in these classes should not miss opportunity.

Congratulations to Jude Richardson for qualifying for the States in Track and field.

This coming week we have our graduation walks. All graduates are required to attend. Failure to participate may result in not participating in the Graduation ceremony. Graduates should be in the cafeteria by 9:15 on Friday in cap and gown. On Thursday, May 21st, 10th graders along with staff will walk to Truist Park for a YouScience event. This will be an opportunity for 10th graders to visit vendors that may match their future life interests.

Speaking of potential life interests, Advanced manufacturing, Welding, Auto mechanic, Trades, IT, Pharmacy Tech and other potential careers—interested females can participate in hands-n activities with the Shift-Ed mobility bus, demonstrations by instructors in the Center for Advanced Manufacturing, talk with other girls who are apprentices in GAP and FAME, and talk with female professionals in non-traditional careers. 

A collaboration with the Community Foundation, GAP, Business HP Chamber of Commerce, Shift_ed, Lingo Staffing, Brady, Ziehl-Abegg, GTCC, ApprenticeshipNC, HP Economic Development and other area businesses. The idea is to give GIRLS AND their parents a chance to learn more about different pathways that women don’t traditionally think about, BUT are great career pathways, and great careers. 

We are doing this now in May, and then will do another one in September to start the year off!  Questions—please ask—free to all girls and their parents—they just need to register using the QR code

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.

The electronics law is in effect as of 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.

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.
