Heilicher Annual Fund and Give to the Max Day
The Heilicher Annual Fund is going great, and we hope everyone enjoyed their coffee at our kick-off last week. Our goal is to raise over $350,000 this year with 100% parent participation. To date, we have raised just over $230,000 for the Annual Fund from 87 generous parent, grandparent, alumni parent, and community donors.
There are many ways to make your pledge or gift. You may give online through the Heilicher website or mail in a response to the letter you have recently received. We offer options for incremental payment as well as periodic invoicing; we strive to make giving to Heilicher easy for you.
Over the next two weeks, you can opt to make your donation through Give to the Max MN
. Give to the Max Day is Thursday, November 14, and Heilicher may qualify for incentives for any donations made through the GiveMN website from now through that date.
Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!

Inclement Weather Policy
Winter is coming...
This is not only a phrase from a popular TV show, it's our reality here in Minnesota. Please take a moment to review our communications plan in the event of a school closing, delay, or early dismissal due to inclement weather.
Decision Process
No single consideration will be the deciding factor to delay or close school. (e.g., if St. Louis Park schools are closed, we may still open our doors). We consider several factors in the decision, including:
-
status of St. Louis Park schools
-
hazardous travel conditions
-
status of the Barry Family Campus
-
status of other local independent schools
Notification
In the event of a school closing, delayed opening, or early dismissal, you will be informed via:
If nothing is posted, school is running on schedule.
Barring a state or federal government decision days in advance, we will inform you by 6:15 a.m. the day of the inclement weather. We want to have the best, most up-to-date information before making a decision. In the unlikely event of early dismissal due to inclement weather, we will call and email as soon as possible to make pickup arrangements and will also call emergency contacts in the event a parent cannot be reached. The office will remain open until the last student is picked up.
The safety of your children and our staff and teachers is our primary focus when making decisions. Even if school is open, assess the weather conditions in your area and always use your discretion when deciding to travel.
