E-Learning Day: Friday, January 23
Due to the extremely cold temperatures expected at arrival time tomorrow, Friday, January 23, Heritage CUSD #8 will utilize an E-Learning Day for all students.
Student safety is our top priority, and these dangerously cold conditions make in-person arrival unsafe. Students will not report to school buildings.
Teachers will post assignments and learning expectations through their usual platforms or students should complete their assigned packets. Attendance will be taken based on student participation and completion of assigned work. Staff will be available to support students during the school day.
Coaches will communicate directly with students and families regarding the status of any afternoon or evening practices or events..
Stay warm and take care,

What an incredible day at WCIA! 📺
Mrs. Knowles shared her students had an absolute blast..."so much so that they’re calling it the best field trip they’ve ever been on! We even made it onto the 12:00 news!"
Beyond the fun, this experience opened real doors. Two of our students were able to connect directly with journalists to talk about college and career paths.
Huge thanks to WCIA for welcoming us and giving our students such a memorable, inspiring experience!
