🗓️ IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER
Principal’s Message
Hello Heritage Families,
Thank you to your scholars for keeping our campus clean. Because it’s been so hot, we have allowed scholars to eat inside. They have been absolutely wonderful at picking up after themselves. Thank you!
As we finish out the month of August and roll into September, please take time to check your scholars PowerSchool accounts. Do the grades look good to you? If you click on the grade, it will show you the list of assignments and if any are missing. Ask your child to help you understand their grade. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the teachers.
Also, fees are due TODAY. Please get those paid. Monday, we will be removing scholars from those classes with fees, if they have not been paid.
