Kindergarten teachers Jenny Palmer and Emily Schooler are excited for the first day of school.
See you Monday morning (and Tuesday morning for some Kindergarteners)!
Parent Badges & School Entry 

The Barry Family Campus requires that all adults provide a photo ID to enter the building. The Sabes JCC and Heilicher are updating security protocols to make it easier to drop off and pick up your child(ren), while making the campus more secure. Shortly, all parents will receive new access cards. Detailed instructions will be given at that time. Until then, please bring a photo ID or last year's Heilicher badge when entering the building. 

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MORNING DROP-OFF (8:00-8:15 a.m.)
Drop-off at the beginning of the school day will be at the north entrance of the Education Wing (around the back of the building). This is a drop-off entrance only; parking for any period of time is not allowed. K-6 students are not to be dropped off at the south (front) entrance. Grades 7/8 students can enter/exit through the south entrance.

If there is a need to walk your K-6 student(s) into school, you must park in the south parking lot, escort your child(ren) through the south (main) entrance, and show your picture ID. 

Thanks, 
Rafi Forbush
Heilicher Physical Education Teacher and Safety & Security Coordinator

Action Required - Back-to-School Forms

Each year, we require parents to fill out certain forms to ensure that family information is current and our funding from the St. Louis Park School District is secure. All of the required forms can be completed online in the  Formssection of our website. Click on the Back-to-School tab on the left side and fill out the first two forms.
Reading and action required! The  Library Use Agreement,  Health, Illness and Medication Policy (see Section 8 of the Heilicher Handbook), and  School Supply List are important to read and may require some action depending on your child(ren) and grade levels. These three documents are also on the Back-to-School tab on the Forms page of our website.

It is important that all families complete all forms prior to the first day of school.
