This Tuesday (the day before our five day weekend) we will be having a special Dollars for Duds to benefit the family of Dr. Thompson, a teacher at our other campus who is not expected to make it after contracting covid. All proceeds from this Dollars for Duds will go to his family so please consider participating and making additional donations if you are able. Thank you!
On Dollars for Duds days, scholars are allowed to wear non-uniform clothing (INCLUDING JEANS) that meet Heritage Standards. $1.00 for shirt and $1.00 for pants/shorts. Wristbands purchased for participation must be worn on your scholar’s wrist throughout the day. Dollars for Duds is optional and scholars do not have to participate.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Plan to leave home sooner in the morning to get your scholars to school on time. The closer you arrive to the start of school, the more traffic there will be. Scholars can be dropped off as early as 7:20. We do have a strict tardy policy and know that traffic can slow down starting at 7:40. Please plan accordingly.
REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR LUNCH!!
NO OUTSIDE FOOD IS ALLOWED
We have a large number of forgotten lunches that are being dropped off at campus. Please limit this as much as possible and remind your scholars before they leave the house, to grab their lunch. NO OUTSIDE FOOD (fast food or delivery) is allowed. The school does not provide a lunch if your scholar forgets.
All appointments including dentist, doctor, orthodontist, etc. should be scheduled on Fridays or after school. Fridays are the perfect day since we have it off and your scholar(s) will not miss class time.
PHOTO ID REQUIRED
TO SIGN-OUT YOUR SCHOLAR
If you need to sign-out your scholar, you will be required to show your ID and we will make a copy of it for our records.
-
If scholars are not feeling well, please keep them home. Please do a daily check before sending them to school.
-
Scholars who are sick (not with Covid) may return back to school when they have been symptom free for 24 hours.
-
If scholars test positive for Covid, they should quarantine for 10 days.
-
If scholars are exposed to Covid and remain symptom free, they may attend school. In the case of exposure from an immediate family member, we ask scholars to quarantine for 10 days.
DID YOU ORDER LUNCH?
HERE ARE A FEW REMINDERS:
- Communicate with your scholar if you ordered lunch for them so they know to pick it up.
- If a lunch is ordered and not picked up, it will be donated.
- If your scholar is absent, cancel the order or contact the school if you want it saved, otherwise it will be donated.
