Heritage Prayer Walk – September 19

Please join us as we walk and pray for Heritage Christian School on Friday, September 19. We will meet outside the school at 7:45am to pray for students, families, staff, faculty, board, etc. as we walk around the school. Children are welcome to join, but they will be expected to stay with parents and participate (there will not be childcare provided for this event). If you are unable to be physically present but would like to walk and pray from where you are, please email Mrs. McDonald (mcdonaldn@hcs-nl.com) for prayer points. Thank you for joining us as we seek the Lord. “Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:12-13

Raptor Visitor Management System

• All visitors must enter through the school’s front door and present an ID such as a Driver’s License to be scanned or manually entered into the Raptor Visitor Management System.
• Once entry is approved, the Raptor will issue a badge that identifies the visitor, the date, and the purpose of his/her visit to be worn in plain sight while in the building.
• All visitors must leave through the school’s front door so the time of their departure can be recorded.
• After you've submitted your Driver's license the first time, you won't have to submit every time but just state your name and you will be in the system and our front desk ladies will be able to print your badge.

Thanks for your patience and cooperation as we keep your students safe! 

Opportunities to Volunteer



We still have a few opportunities for volunteering in the classroom this year. Classroom volunteer signups also went out this week so if you haven't had a chance to sign up there, please check those out. If you have questions or didn't receive the signup genius, please contact Erica Wallace (wallacee@hcs-nl.com)

Heritage Singers/Jubilate Information

An email went home this week to all 2nd-8th grade families with information regarding Heritage Singers and Jubilate (performance choirs). This information can also be found at Heritage Singers & Jubilate Information. 

ALL 2nd-8th GRADE STUDENTS NEED TO COMMUNICATE IF THEY ARE OR ARE NOT PARTICIPATING IN CHOIR THIS YEAR. The link to share their participation can be found at Heritage Singers/Jubilate Form. Students should be signed up (or indicate that they will not be participating) by Friday, September 5. Contact Mrs. Smith (smithj@hcs-nl.com) or Mrs. McDonald (mcdonaldn@hcs-nl.com) with questions.
