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.
In citizenship for the month of February, scholars have been focusing on the character trait of being HUMBLE.
TO BE HUMBLE, YOU:
SPEND TIME LISTENING TO OTHERS
ACCEPT YOUR LIMITATIONS
PRACTICE MINDFULNESS, AND FOCUS ON THE PRESENT
RECOGNIZE YOUR OWN FAULTS
DON’T BE AFRAID TO MAKE MISTAKES
AVOID BRAGGING
DON’T TAKE ALL THE CREDIT
BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE
BE CONSIDERATE IN CONVERSATIONS
ASK OTHERS FOR HELP WHEN YOU NEED IT
ACCEPT FEEDBACK FROM OTHERS

| At Be Awesome, we know that you want to be the best parent for your kids. To do that you need confidence in your ability to communicate and guide them through the world. The problem is it can feel like we are speaking a different language than our kids and we are comparing ourselves to other parents while second guessing ourselves. Which leaves us feeling inadequate, helpless, and isolated. We believe you ARE the best parent for your child and communicating with them doesn’t have to be a chore. We understand the challenges of parenting and have experienced the second-guessing and fear firsthand. That’s why we provide Awesome Families Workshops. Here’s how we do it. We host provide three weekly sessions for family members ages 10 up to improve communication and collaboration. We include dinner, and child care for the littles. Register today and stop fretting about what to say and be confident your parenting.

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.
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 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.
IN ORDER TO EXCUSE AN ABSENCE, YOU MUST CALL BEFORE 10:00 AM THE SAME DAY OF THE ABSENCE.
EXCUSED ABSENCE: An excused absence is an absence due to illness, doctor appointment, bereavement, or family emergencies.

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.
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.
