Scholar handbook:

Absences Any scholar who misses ten percent (10%) or more of classes (usually five or more per semester) in a given subject may not receive credit for that subject. This applies to all absences unless on school business. An excused absence is an absence due to illness, doctor appointment, bereavement, family emergencies and 9 suspensions not to exceed 10% of the instructional days scheduled for the school year. Heritage Academy must be notified of the absence prior to the absence or when the absence occurs by the parent or legal guardian who has custody of the student. If an absence occurs relating to any other term or condition that is not specifically designated above, the absence shall be counted as unexcused.

I’d like to share a bit of recent scholar artwork with all of you, hope you don’t mind too much! I don’t usually show art from the advanced class, but I wanted to give you a little sample of the level of art you can expect to see at the art exhibit next semester! I have attached three acrylic paintings, three graphite drawings, and two oil pastel drawings. All from the advanced class, which has been building on techniques learned in art 1, and now including new techniques and other tools to create more realistic and vibrant artwork!  Thank you.  – Carlos Jimenez
