“Empowering lifelong leaders!”

• Monday, September 21st- Packet Drop Off and Pick Up Day

Families, we need your school

paperwork turned in as soon as

possible! This is our yearly

enrollment information. Here are the 3 ways you can return packets:

1. Mail the packet back to school. Your

envelope has a Heritage mailing label on it

for your convenience.

2. Stop by school anytime. There is a box on

the front porch where you can drop the

envelope.

3. Drop your envelope off at Heritage in the

office M-F 8:00 a.m-4:00 p.m.

How to Access Your Child's Daily Work:

The Heritage Hub is the link you will use to access all of

your child's work.

• We will begin each morning at 8:00 with Community

Time in each child's virtual classroom.

• At our Chromebook roll-out, each child received a packet

of materials from his/her teacher. This packet matches all the

virtual work. Therefore, if your child is having trouble accessing

his/her work virtually, you may use the packet.

Update on District Hot Spots: There has been a delay in shipment of the hot spots on Sprint's end due to COVID. We really have no idea when they will arrive. When they do arrive, the district will be reaching out to parents on a first come first serve basis in the order in which parents signed up. Update on Meal Delivery: If you signed up for free meal delivery, the bus will bring them to the address you listed on the form. Please have someone watching for the bus. The busses are

leaving school at 10:00 to begin deliveries. You'll need to go to the bus to receive your meal. Please remember to wear your mask. The child's name will be requested as meals can only be given to Shelby County students.
