Our Mission Statement
Heritage Academy is dedicated to youth, their growth and development. The purpose of education is to build strong character. Strong character is reflected in strong families, strong communities and a strong nation.
While teaching the academic disciplines, Heritage Academy is dedicated to instilling into the minds and hearts of today’s youth a knowledge of and respect for the ideals and values of the great men and women of history, including those who founded the American nation.
As today’s rising generation gains an appreciation of these people of accomplishment, they will be ready to provide the selfless service to their fellow citizens and to their country which will be required in the coming years to assist in preserving America’s greatness. Heritage Academy exists to this end.

FINALS…. THEY ARE COMING!
Our break this year is a little odd. Parents, make sure your scholars are prepared to stay in school till 12/20. 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!

SCHOLARS SHOULD NOT BE SIGNED OUT BETWEEN 2:30-3:30 PM
Need to schedule an appointment for your scholar during school hours? We ask that you try and schedule appointments on Fridays when the scholars are out of school. We know this isn’t always possible due to days and hours of operation, however due to our driveline, we are not able to sign scholars out after 2:30 pm. If you have an appointment for your scholar, we will need you to pick them up before 2:30 pm or wait until school is out to pick up your scholar.

All these scholars were recognized and nominated by staff or their peers for doing something good around campus.
Second-semester schedules have been made and we tried very hard to give your scholar what they requested. You can check the schedule by logging into PowerSchool. Please use the form below to communicate with Mrs. Titus. Emails will not be checked at this time.
POWERSCHOOL LOGINS
All Parent and Student PowerSchool Access codes have been sent out via email from Terrell Hoffman (check your spam folder) at the beginning of the year in an email with the subject line VERY IMPORTANT EMAIL. If you have already logged into PowerSchool as a Heritage scholar, you will NOT need to do it again. If you have multiple scholars and need their accounts linked, please send an email to melody.huns@heritageacademyaz.com with your scholars’ names, and we can link them for you. For additional help, please see our instruction sheet:
We also hope that you understand that sometimes scholars are not able to get all that they requested. There are several reasons for this and they were scheduled for what worked best for them. There are 3 reasons why we will look at changing a schedule.
Schedule requests are limited to ONLY the following reasons:
1. Seniors with graduation credit needs
2. Incorrect course level placement (ex:7th grade scholar in a 10th grade English course)
3. Missing a class in the schedule
If you feel that your reason for requesting a schedule change conforms to one of the reasons listed above, please go ahead and complete this form:
The link will be open until December 15th and your request will be evaluated if it is determined that a schedule change is possible. If the requested schedule change will not be a possibility, you will receive an email notifying you. Please be patient as it may take a while to go through the requests.
Be prepared and try to remember all of the items you will need for class, sports, and extracurriculars each day.
We understand things happen and sometimes items get forgotten. We have had an increase in these forgotten items, so please help remind your scholars to prepare their needed items the night before. SCHOLAR WILL BE CALLED DOWN BETWEEN CLASSES TO PICK UP THE ITEM. WE WILL NOT DELIVER THE ITEMS TO CLASS. Please remind your scholar to pick up the item in the front office.

DID YOU ORDER LUNCH?
HERE ARE A FEW REMINDERS:
- Change your scholars grade level under your profile.
- 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 during lunch time, it will be donated.
- If your scholar is absent, cancel the order or contact the front office if you want it saved by 10:00 am, otherwise it will be donated.
- If you want a friend to pick up your lunch, it must be communicated to the front office by 10:00 am so the records can be updated.
DRESS CODE REMINDERS
Khaki pants need to be cream, beige, or khaki in color (according to the chart below). The colors that are crossed out in red are not approved.
