In an effort to get our families in and out of campus more efficiently during pick-up, we have readjusted our wave times a slight bit. We also have some important reminders for Tutoring and Clubs.
-
Wave Times: Our Wave times have been adjusted by five minutes for waves two and three. Wave two will now begin five minutes later at 3:40 and wave three will begin five minutes earlier at 3:50. See our new Wave Time logic tree HERE. Please make sure to follow your Wave Time for a smoother pick-up process.
-
Tutoring: If you have a student in tutoring, please do not pick up your student, including their siblings, until 4:00pm. We will not pull students out of tutoring if you arrive early. We will also not release siblings until tutoring has finished.
-
Clubs Pick-Up: We are excited to announce that clubs will begin this Monday, September 13. All clubs Monday - Thursday will end promptly at 4:45pm. Please do not arrive on campus sooner than 4:45. If you need a place to wait, please wait at the Chinese Baptist Church. Clubs on Early Release Fridays end promptly at 2:20pm. Please do not arrive on campus any earlier than 2:20.

The Big Give San Antonio is upon us! The Big Give is a 24 hour fundraising event that has helped over 1,000 local nonprofits since 2014 to connect with more than 242,000 individual donors, and collectively raise in excess of $30 million to support the critical services they provide our community.
Traditionally, Great Hearts San Antonio has done really, REALLY well. Last year, GHSA was the top money earner out of almost 300 San Antonio non-profits that participated. And Forest Heights was a major part of that, very nearly doubling our school's projected goal!
This year we hope will be even bigger! You can donate starting at 12:01am on September 23 by visiting the website below. Giving ends at midnight the same day. This is a great opportunity for you to show your big heart and give big! We look forward to an exciting event! Be on the lookout for more info to come.
