Continuous Enrollment

A reminder that if you are planning to withdraw your son or daughter from Heritage at the end of the school year and not return next year, you must notify Mr. Goodbar and Mrs. Wichhart, in writing, by March 1st. Knowing this information helps us make decisions and plan for next year. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's enrollment, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Valentines Day Celebration

A reminder that we will not take class time to celebrate Valentine’s Day at Heritage. Please refer to the Parent Student Handbook (p. 32 and also copied below) for our policy on Holiday Celebrations and Class Parties.

Holiday Celebrations and Class Parties

At Heritage Christian School, parents hold a wide variety of opinions on the celebration of holidays, whether at school or at home. In order to remain faithful to our mission, make the most of instructional time, not confuse children, and honor the differing opinions of parents, Heritage Christian School only celebrates one holiday with a class party and that is the birth of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ at Christmas. For the other holidays (Halloween and Valentine’s Day), we ask that parents celebrate those at home if they so choose. In addition, we ask that all parents honor the school’s position by not allowing children to come dressed in costumes for Halloween or bring candy or cards for Valentine’s Day but reserve those activities for after school.

Substitute Teachers Needed

We are looking to add some additional folks to our substitute teacher list. Substitute teaching is a great way to formally work with great kids in a great environment while enjoying the benefit of some flexibility. At Heritage Christian School, substitute teachers earn $17.28 per hour. If you would like more information, contact the school office.

Basketball Concession Workers Needed

If you are a basketball or cheerleading parent, love the game of basketball, or just want to serve at Heritage, we are looking for volunteers to work concessions at our basketball games this winter. All the jobs are easy to learn and any training needed before the game can be provided. High school students can also volunteer for silver cord hours. If you also have a responsible 4th-8th grade child that you think would be helpful, you can sign them up to work a shift with you as well. To sign-up, please use the sign-up genius link below.

Pray for the Nations

Please continue to pray for global workers Michael and Mary Pretorious and for our Compassion International sponsored child, Kossigan, from Togo. Students are welcome to contribute towards Kossigan’s sponsorship (through Compassion International) by giving money in their classrooms or the office. Thank you!

Please pray for:

·        Protection (physical, spiritual, emotional, etc.)

·        Boldness (to share Jesus authentically and powerfully)

·        Peace (people of peace to help share the Good News)

·        Assurance (that God is with them and is for them)
