Reminders:

A reminder for all shuttle riders: The shuttle bus leaving from the HS does not leave until 7:45 AM each day. There is not anyone on duty to supervise until 7:30 AM. Students should not be arriving at the HS before 7:30 AM each day.
**Heritage’s District website has been updated. You may download our mobile app at Google play and Apple stores. Search for “Heritage Schools”.
Please remind students that there is no eating or drinking on the bus. Breakfast/Lunches will be sent home with students, but should not be opened until they reach their destination.
Students should be presenting a Self-Check sheet every morning that has been completed by a parent/guardian at home before they are allowed to enter our building. Please make sure to have these forms accessible to help speed up our morning entry. THANK YOU!
Please remember to discuss with your student as to whether or not he/she will be eating breakfast/lunch that is offered at the school this year. Menus are available, but all lunches will be sack lunches as students will be taking them with them as they leave the building.
Please check your child’s STI account to keep up with student progress as midterms/report cards will not be printed and sent home. If you are unable to access your child’s account please contact the office for a paper copy.
NO vehicles are permitted in the circle drive where buses drop off in the morning or afternoon.
Please remember to be cautious and courteous when dropping off and picking up students in the front or back parking lots. DO NOT pass vehicles and make sure to pay close attention to students exiting vehicles and entering our building.
**Parents please remember that our new front drop off/pick up lane needs to be kept free of parked vehicles. If your student is not standing out front waiting for you, please make sure to utilize a parking spot so that traffic may continually move forward. Likewise, students MUST be ready to exit the vehicle when dropping off.**
Please remember that if you wish to speak with a teacher or staff member regarding your student’s classroom performance, you must schedule an appointment for a meeting. Daily classroom activities are held to a tight schedule and unplanned interruptions may negatively affect academic success in the classroom.
Per Mrs. Sander’s request and as stated in the student handbook, K-5 students can no longer access cell phones at school during school hours.
If sending in snack or treats for a class, please remember no home-baked goods can be shared. All items must be pre-packaged and in store box containers.
If your student will be gone for a doctor’s appointment, please have him/her bring a note from the doctor upon returning to school to show that they were there. Otherwise the absence will be marked unexcused by the school.
Please remember that there is NO SMOKING on school grounds, and that seat belts should be fastened properly around children as they are being picked up or dropped off on school property.

High School Announcements:

We will be collecting different food items and toys each week to support local families this holiday season through November and December! The whole school will be working together to reach a collective goal. We will also be having a change drive in which each class will be competing to collect the most change. Bring in food and change throughout November and December to feed our community! Thank you in advance for all your help and support!

Heritage Student Body: What an amazing job with the food and toy drive this year! You have been so successful in reaching and breaking our giving goals over the past month and a half. Countless families and individuals have been blessed with your generous donations. These families and individuals are from our local community. We are proud of your efforts and want you to know that your kindness has not gone unnoticed. We may never know who our donations go to but know this: it is making a difference in someone's life today! Have a great and wonderful holiday! Stay safe and well!

This year it is required for graduation that all seniors fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). The portal will open on 10/1. There is an option to opt out of this requirement by completing a non-participation form. The form can be picked up from Mrs. Knott's office.
