IT’S CRUNCH TIME!!!
FINALS ARE NEXT WEEK
12/13-12/16
All scholars are required to take their final exams for each class during finals week. There will not be a test make-up after break, so if your scholar misses their final during this week, they will receive a zero.
Here are some tips to ensure you have a great start to each day through the week of finals:
1. Review your study notes.
Use the night before for simple revision. Don’t look at anything new, review the study notes you have created during your study sessions over the past few days.
2. Revise topics one by one. 3. Don’t study too late. 4. Eat a good healthy dinner. 5. Prepare for the morning. 6. Get some exercise. 7. Give your brain a break. 8. Get a good sleep. 9. Set your alarm. 10. Know that your instructors love you and are rooting for you through each day. You’ve got this!
Open Enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year has begun and will run through December 31st!
We anticipate a continuation of increased enrollment, with many new families eager for their scholar to benefit from the quality academic environment at Heritage Academy.
EXISTING SCHOLARS – All current scholars will be reserved a spot for next year and no further re-enrollment action will be required at this time. If you are planning to withdraw for next year, please complete THE WITHDRAWAL REQUEST FORM.
NEW SCHOLARS – If you have friends or family members that do not currently attend Heritage but would like to join us next year…they will need to complete the full enrollment application. The 2022-2023 school year option will not be available until NOVEMBER 1st! CLICK HERE TO ENROLL ON NOVEMBER 1ST. Open Enrollment will run through December 31st and the lottery will run second week of January. Heritage siblings do receive a priority and move to the top of the list.
By way of information, we are currently on a waitlist for all grade levels for the current school year. We plan to offer any available seats that open after winter break.
Through the whole month of November our scholars focused on gratitude, and we filled this tree with all of the things they are grateful for. With this, our scholars donated a penny for each leaf. Our goal was to raise $200 for the Maricopa Food Pantry. Together we have almost doubled our goal and were able to donate $340 to the Maricopa Food Pantry.
We are so grateful and amazed by the love and willingness to share of our scholars. This is a great way to go into December with our focus being Selflessness. We hope that all of you have a wonderful Holiday Season filled with love, service, and good will towards men.
NHS is holding a TOY DRIVE next week. They will be donated to the Maricopa Food Pantry, which puts together meals and toys for families in need. There will be a box in the front lobby where you can drop the new or gently used unwrapped toys.
Our PTO would like to show some love and holiday cheer to our wonderful Heritage teachers and administration and staff. We are looking for your help to fill some holiday gift bags for our favorite people! Please consider giving and click the link to sign up. Items can be dropped off all week anytime during school hours at the office. The LAST DAY TO DONATE WILL BE MONDAY, DECEMBER the 13TH . A PTO member will be collecting items this Monday December 13th at the morning drive line and also at pick up. Happy holidays!

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.
