We are so proud of our students for showing kindness in action and making Heritage a better place every day. 💙❤️

Hello, Families!
This year we are monitoring attendance more closely because we know consistent attendance is a key factor in student success. When your child is absent, we will ask for the reason, whether due to illness, an appointment, or another circumstance.
If we notice a pattern of unexcused absences, we will reach out to meet with you so we can work together to support your child. Please know these steps are in place with your child’s best interest in mind. Regular attendance builds strong habits, helps students stay on track academically, and ensures they have the best opportunities to learn and grow.
Thank you for partnering with us to make sure every Hawk is present and thriving!
