IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER
A Note from Mrs Udall
Have you seen your scholar’s new school ID? This year’s ID includes the semiquincentennial logo for our nation’s 250 birthday. This year in Citizenship classes, scholars will learn about all the different flags our nation has flown. You’ll also see them hanging in Hero Hall’s lobby.
Our Fall Sports Teams start games this week. Ms. Seaman and I plan to attend at least one game for each sport each season.
We love it when you say hello.
Join us this Tuesday, 6:00 p.m. for the first PTO meeting of the school year. Check your texts and the school calendar for Google Meet link.
We sure love our Heritage families!
Heidi Udall, Principal

IMPORTANT DUAL ENROLLMENT INFORMATION
NOTE – if you are a current senior, be sure to schedule your senior one-on-one appointment with me for sometime in September. Don’t wait for the last second.
If you are new to dual enrollment, you will need to complete admissions (step 1) to Rio Salado College. Enrollment and Registration Steps here . If you need any placement tests, I will let you know.
Important links here – login is your MEID@maricopa.edu. Here, you will be able to upload your birth certificate and photo ID, complete the financial responsibility form, and fill out the Petition for Semester Overload if you are enrolling in more than 18 DE credits in one semester, to name a few.
For those who were approved for Tuition Assistance, I have contacted Rio to enroll you accordingly.
For the rest that indicated they wanted to take part in dual enrollment, I will be emailing Rio soon. Be on the lookout for emails with tasks to complete (if needed).
Email me at bob.brow@heritageacademyaz.com with any questions. To ensure a timely response be sure to provide the scholar’s 8-digit college ID# (starts with a 3) or indicate new to dual enrollment. Please leave a detailed message, so I can better serve you.
