Dear Heritage Families,
Tomorrow is the big day! We begin our 2021-22 year with a full 5-days of in-person learning! It will be an adjustment for everyone but with everyone working together, we’ve got this! Don’t forget to send a face mask and water bottle with your child. PARENTS ARE ALLOWED TO WALK STUDENTS TO CLASS ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL. Here are the preliminary drop-off and pick-up procedures beginning tomorrow.
Kindergarten Orientation Thursday, August 12
AM/PM K 8-8:50
TK 9-9:30
Drop Off Procedures:
- AM TK/Kindergarten Parents will walk their students to the front gate and wait for teachers to meet them at 7:45 to pick up students. TK parents will pick up kids at side gate by staff parking lot.
- All other parents may choose whether to drop students off at the front or back of school. The back gate will not open until 7:45am so if your child is eating breakfast which begins at 7:30, please drop them off in front of school. Students will enter the front gates next to the office and either proceed to the MPR for breakfast or to the playground to wait for the bell.
Pick Up Procedures
- “C” Gate by Kindergarten playground will be where all PM Kinder and their older siblings will meet to be picked up IN PERSON by parents who must WALK up. Parents will park on Acanthus to walk across the field to the C gate. Please be courteous and don’t block our neighbors’ driveways on Acanthus.
- Back Parking Lot (Acanthus) will be a drive-through pick up only for all 3rd-8th graders with no younger siblings in K-2. No parking in Acanthus lot except for teachers “parallel” parking against the far south fence. Please be courteous and take turns entering the driveway.
- All 1st-2nd graders and their older siblings will be picked up in the front drive-through lot. They will wait in classrooms until our proctor calls for them by radio.
- For both drive-through pick-up areas, we are in the process of making student name placards to place on car dashboards to make this process faster.
The first days of school are always a bit chaotic, so please hang in there with us as we work out the bugs. Please keep in mind that we will be monitoring the system and seeking ways to improve it, so there may be changes along the way. We will keep you informed! Thanks again and we’ll see you soon!
Sincerely,
The Heritage School
