We invite any relative or friend of a High Point student who has served, or is currently serving our country, to join us on Friday, November 10th at 1:00pm so we can honor them for their service. Veterans are invited to dress in uniform or join us in red, white and blue attire!

Student Dress: Grades K-1 and ANY STUDENT with a Veteran in attendance should wear RED, Grades 2-3 should wear WHITE, and Grades 4-5 should plan to wear BLUE. If your student does not have that particular color then anything Red, White, or Blue is totally fine.

Wall of Fame: If your child has a veteran that can not attend, we would love to still honor them. Please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/4q2x4iEYxKgwDBLg9

We will be sending out more information next week as we get closer to Friday. We look forward to this event!

Gifted Visual and Performing Arts Referral Process

Each year school districts in Ohio are required to offer an opportunity for students in grades K-12 to be identified as gifted in the area of Visual and Performing Arts. The identified areas of giftedness for Visual and Performing Arts include Visual Arts, Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Drama/Theater, and Dance. If you know of a student that may be gifted in an area of the Visual and Performing Arts (VPA) and would like for them to be screened for possible gifted identification in that particular area, please complete the Visual and Performing Arts Nomination Form.

Click here to learn more about the two-phase VPA gifted identification process.

Nominations will be accepted until noon on Monday, November 20, 2023, and will only be accepted using the Google link above.

If you have any questions, please contact Colleen Boyle at gjpsgifted@gjps.org.

Congratulations to our students who were "caught" showing PRIDE. Students show PRIDE by being SAFE, KIND, and RESPONSIBLE. Our goal is to fill up this board before Winter Break. Let's do this!

• Traffic was hectic this morning as parents who attended Donuts with Grown Ups were exiting the parking lot. Thank you for your patience. When we have morning events, please do not worry about your child being late getting in, they will not be marked tardy if they get in after 8:00 am.
• Please do not drop off your child in the front crosswalk area or park in the crosswalk at the end of the day. We have students crossing the street there and it makes it unsafe.
• We know that students in the neighborhood play on the playground after school hours. Obviously there is not adult supervision at this time. If something occurs or is seen that is unsafe, we encourage families to report this to the Gahanna Police and let us know as well. Thank you for your help.

Lions Locker is once again partnering with Meijer and Gahanna Police to bring you the 8th-Annual Shop with a Cop event this December. This event helps Gahanna families in need each year.
