Heritage Back to School Night FAQs
 
Tomorrow night night is the big night! Before the event, we want to answer a few more questions that we've heard being asked.
  
6:00-6:30pm - Orientation for Prek Parents
6:30-7pm - Open House for all grades
7:00-8:00pm - Ice Cream from Dane's Dairy on the lawn (or the gym if it's raining)
  
What exactly is Back to School Night?
It's an opportunity for parents and students to visit classrooms and teachers. It's also an opportunity for the school community to reconnect after the summer vacation. There will not be any formal presentations in the gym. Simply come and check out your child's classroom and enjoy some fellowship and Dane's Dairy soft serve ice cream (hopefully out on the lawn if the weather is nice).
 
Can we bring classroom supplies during the Open House portion of the evening?
Of course! You are welcome to bring classroom supplies and drop them off with your children's teachers.
    
Will there be anyone present to receive completed school forms, payment of fees, etc.?
Absolutely! During the Open House, Kathy and Brenda will be in the office to assist parents who need to finalize paperwork or payments before the start of the school year.
 
Do I need to bring anything?
Any final forms completed for the school office and your school supplies if you wish. If your child needs any medications kept in the school office, this is also a good time to bring those and fill out the forms to go with.
 
Looking forward to seeing you Friday night!
