Students should dress up more than they would for a normal day of school or activity in an effort to create a professional mood for the concert. Students' concert dress should also align with the school's dress code guidelines listed in the Handbook's dress code section.

2^nd GRADE BAKE SALE - Thursday, Dec 14

The second graders will be hosting a CHRISTMAS BAKE SALE next Thursday in order to raise money for Anani, who we support through Compassion International. All items will be $.50 each. Students are welcome to bring in money to buy some treats and support Anani. Thanks for your support!

A reminder for current families that if you have a child who is a sibling of a current student (not currently enrolled in our PreK) and would like to enroll them at Heritage for kindergarten next year, please fill out a Student Enrollment Application and submit that along with the child's birth certificate and $40 application fee. Contact Kathy (schallauk@hcs-nl.com) with any questions. Call the office if you have questions!

Praise God our Annual Fund total continues to grow! If you haven't taken the opportunity to support this important campaign, we encourage you to do so before the end of the year. Thank you for your continued support and generosity! As of today, we've raised $18,650!

We are in need of elementary chapel speakers. If you know of anyone that might be interested please share the information below.

We want to thank all of you who have volunteered to come speak to our students at Heritage Christian School for chapel in the past and welcome any of those new who would like to join us this year. We are in need of volunteers for our Elementary Chapel. Elementary (PreK-4^th) is on Wednesday from 8:30-9:10am and we are looking for speakers to speak 10-15 minutes at chapel on a particular theme and topic. Below is a brief explanation on those themes/topics for each chapel.

 Elementary Chapel (Prek-4^th): This year at Heritage our theme is Equipped. As we focus on the theme of Equipped, each story will highlight how God has equipped us with the right tools for the job. These accounts are organized under the broad category of tools of scripture, service and prayer. You can focus on the Bible story and how it connects to how God has equipped us with the correct tools. The Bible stories for each date are listed on the following sign-up genius:

1.   A text message via Parent Alert will be sent out to inform of a school closure or delay. If you provided your cell phone information to the school, you should receive these messages.

2.   When checking for closures/delays on local media, please look specifically for information on Heritage Christian School. While our decisions are often the same as Iowa City School District and Clear Creek Amana, they are not ALWAYS the same.

3.   Decisions to delay or cancel will be made no later than 6:30 AM. If it is determined that a late start is necessary, please continue to watch the news. If weather conditions do not improve, school will be cancelled by 8:30 AM.

4.   In the event of early dismissal due to weather or other emergency, parents will be notified through a text message via Parent Alert.

5.   Please make attendance decisions you are comfortable with. If you are concerned about traveling when driving conditions are poor or it is brutally cold, please make personal decisions accordingly.

6.   With a delayed start, we always do a 90 minute delay so please arrive between 9:30-9:40am. Classes will begin at 9:45am.

7.   When driving conditions are poor and school IS in session, we will not count students tardy allowing parents necessary travel time.

8.   Heritage Christian School does not normally close for cold temperatures.

9.   Please check KCRG, KGAN, KWWL, local radio AM 800 and the Heritage Christian School Facebook page for inclement weather information. 

Read the full inclement weather procedures on the website here.
