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.

Parents,
The houses that surround Heritage are frustrated by cars blocking their driveways. PLEASE USE THE CELL PHONE LOT TO WAIT FOR DRIVELINE. The cell phone lot idea was created by a council comprised of the City of Maricopa Police Department, the HOA, the Catholic Church, and heritage to alleviate this issue.
On Saturday, February 24, thirteen scholars from Heritage Academy participated in the Arizona High School Mock Trial Competition sponsored by the Arizona Bar Foundation. Two teams from heritage traveled to downtown Phoenix to the Central Court House Tower. They competed with 48 teams from central Arizona. Each team presented four trials in the actual courtrooms and with Judges who volunteered their time to conduct and judge the trials. After each trial the judges would give feedback to the scholars. The competition began with check-in and instructions at 7:30 am and continued until after 6pm. Our teams did very well in their rounds and improved as the trials continued. By the end of their matches, they were very tired but satisfied with their performances. While neither team advanced to the finals, this was the first time the school had participated in this activity and they learned important lessons and gained experience for next year.
The teams were
Team 1
Tommy Nguyen
Ben James
Christian Mylek
Asher Goncalves
Camryn Janssen
Angela Lawson
Elijah Bell
Team 2
Sachia Cloran
Isabella Edgecomb
Breanna Williams
Phil Inguito
Athena Smith
Emmett Desmond
If any scholar is interested in next year’s competition they need to have completed Criminal Law class and sign up for Criminal Procedure. If you have any questions please contact Mr. O’Barr
Mr. Lyle Hamblin, our Econ teacher headed up a very successful entrepreneurial week. Econ Scholars sold various items from candy to homemade jewelry and other items. Snack and lunch items were highly sought for items during both junior high and high school lunchtimes.
Mrs. Miller’s Latin class completed a task from each of the 12 books in the epic poem. The Aeneid. Story retelling with Play-Doh, funeral games, building armor, and more. Great job 6th graders.
Members of the University of Arizona choir, band, and orchestra came all the way to Heritage to perform a recruiting concert. It was fun to see a familiar face. Heritage Alum, Sadie Titus, was in their singing group “Encore”.
Leap year Dollars for Duds was a big hit this year. We caught a few junior high scholars in their PJs. It ended up being a warm afternoon and some PJs were just too hot to wear at the end of the day.
Thank you PTO for setting up this YEAR LONG fundraiser!
