Dear High Point Families,

As the crisp air and colorful leaves of fall settle in, I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a very happy and joyful autumn season. Fall is a time of change, reflection, and new beginnings, much like the start of a new school year. I hope you are enjoying the cooler weather and all the fun activities this season brings.

Here at High Point, we are well into the school year and I’m excited about all the great learning and growth happening within our classrooms. Our teachers and staff continue to work hard to ensure that every scholar feels supported, engaged, and excited to learn. We are proud of the progress our scholars are making and appreciate your continued support at home.

As we move deeper into the fall season, there are several exciting events and activities planned. We encourage you to participate and stay involved in the wonderful community we have built here.

Fall is also a perfect time for reflection and gratitude. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you for your ongoing partnership in your child’s education. Together, we can ensure that this year is a success for all of our scholars.

Wishing you a season filled with joy, warmth, and beautiful memories!

Warm regards,

Dr. Miller
