DAILY SCHEDULE The elementary school day begins at 8:15 AM and ends at 3:05 PM. Children should enter the building no earlier than 8:00 AM as teachers will be preparing for classes and there will be no supervision for students before that time. Pick-up procedures are timed so that all students are out of the building by 3:25 PM (See Health and Safety section for traffic procedures). Students who have not been picked up by 3:25 PM will be sent to Aftercare with charges beginning at a rate of $25/hour with a minimum of $10. Parents must walk in to pick up students in Aftercare. We are pleased to provide this service to HCA parents (on full school days only). COMMUNICATION School-to-Parent Communication Communication formats used by the school to communicate with parents are as follows: I. School Newsletter - This weekly communication is published via email on Friday afternoon most school weeks and is sent to all East Campus families and staff, as well as grandparents or other friends who have requested it. General announcements, reminders and scheduled social and sports events are included. Sharing the Blessings - This periodic email communication from the Principal highlights school happenings and encourages the Heritage community in our pursuit of Christian education for our students by reflecting on what God is doing in our midst. E-Notes - These informal email notes are sent to all East Campus families on an “as needed” basis. They contain less formal announcements, reminders and updates. Classroom Newsletters will be sent home weekly by each classroom teacher. These contain news and updates on classroom activities, instructional matters and other information from the teacher. Teachers may choose to send these electronically. Progress Reports noting concerns about unsatisfactory progress are either emailed or mailed home to parents, midway through each grading period, as needed. Academic Report Cards are issued four times each year at the conclusion of each quarter. Report Cards are posted on Blackbaud. Parents are encouraged to review the on-line report cards promptly and print out a copy for their records within a week of their posting. Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled as listed in the school calendar. Parents are requested to attend the fall conferences. Spring conferences are optional, though your child’s teacher may contact you to request a conference, if they feel it would be beneficial to your student. Any parents who would like to meet with their child’s teacher at this time are encouraged to sign up.
