Crossing Guard Volunteers
Thank you to those who have volunteered to be a crossing guard during our drop off and pick up times! We are still in need of a crossing guard on Tuesdays and Wednesdays afternoons from 3:10-3:35p.m. Your support makes a real difference in building a safe and welcoming school community and we'd love for you to be a part of it! If you are interested please contact Erica Wallace. wallacee@hcs-nl.com

See You at the Pole - Sept 24
We are excited to rally with the global student population for God's will to be done in this school, community, nation and world. Please join us, September 24 at 7:45 a.m. around the flagpole for the HCS event. Parents, this is a great opportunity to pray with your children, their classmates and other parents. We encourage EVERYONE to come early for the largest turnout in school history!
Praise God that we live in a country where we can gather freely to pray in public, and what an opportunity we have as a Christian school to practice this freedom!

Dress Code Reminders
As warm weather makes a reappearance at various times in September and October, don't forget to refer to our dress code. Addressing dress code is not a favorite pastime of our faculty and staff, so if you would partner with us by checking the dress code before sending your child to school, we would appreciate it!

Stuff, Etc. Account
Looking to consign some items around the house that you no longer need? Consider bringing them to Stuff, Etc. and donating them to the school's account.

Just drop your items off and tell them to put them on the Heritage Christian School account!
