SPORTS EVENTS CALENDER CLICK HERE
There are a number of trips/tours to enrich our scholars Heritage experience. Sign up information is further down in the newsletter.
Please remember to opt in to the new message system by texting Y or YES to 67587. We want to ensure you continue to receive safety alerts, school closings, event notifications and more. You can always opt out at any time.
None of us like to be caught doing harm, and I want to remind all of our hero families that we will hold scholars accountable for any language that is not appropriate.
pg. 17 of handbook
Please have a conversation with your scholar reminding them that words have power. Thank you.
If you haven’t had the chance to donate to the PTO, it’s not too late. The suggested dues of $20 per family help our PTO support the scholars in so many ways, including providing a daily low cost lunch option.
PAY PTO DUES HERE (not eligible for ECA donation)
Just a reminder no school on Monday or Tuesday [9/2 & 9/3].
Heidi Udall, Principal
ATTENDANCE
We are well into the school year and greatly appreciate all of our families. We would like to remind all of you about our attendance policy.
ABSENCES: All absences must be reported the day of the absence. Call 480-969-5641 to report an attendance. If leaving a message, state the first and last name of your scholar and the reason for the absence. Absences will not be changed from unexcused to excused after 24 business hours. For absences due to illness, please provide documentation (full name of scholar and date of absence) to the front desk. When checking in at the front desk, please select the correct reason from the drop down menu. If OTHER is selected, this will be recorded as an unexcused absence.
Excused absence: illness, doctor appointment, bereavement, family emergencies (not to exceed 10% of the instructional days)
Unexcused: any other term or condition that is not specifically designated as excused.
TARDIES: At Heritage we expect scholars to be in their seats when the bell rings. When scholars are tardy 3 or more times in a four week period, they will be required to serve a lunch detention. Please, help us keep the classroom as distraction free as possible by visiting with your scholar and make a plan to arrive to school and class on time.
CHOIR TOUR!
The total cost of the trip is $899.00.

The fast-paced environment lends itself to quickly build a strong community amongst the arts programs.
