Blackbaud - Heritage utilizes the Blackbaud data system for much of its communication. Parents are able to log on, download various documents and view the calendar, lunch menu and directory, among other functions. Parents can also view report cards for their students with grade 5 being able to view their assignments. Each family should update their information on Blackbaud to ensure accuracy. Parent-to-School Communication When parents desire direct communication with a teacher, they should email the teacher; teachers check their email periodically during the day. If it’s an urgent need, parents may call the office. Absences should be reported by 8:00 AM by calling the attendance line (913/681- 7622 option 2) . Requests for make-up work for sick students should be made to the teacher via email. Most homework requested in a timely manner can be picked up in the office at the end of the school day. Teachers are selected not only for their instructional skills and academic preparedness, but also for their love for and understanding of children. Ongoing, open communication between parent and teacher will greatly benefit each student and avoid potential misunderstandings. Any problems within the classroom should be discussed directly with the child’s teacher. If, after several attempts, the issue cannot be resolved, the parent or teacher may request a meeting with the Principal to work towards a solution. Issues regarding daily operations or policies and procedures should be taken up with the Principal. The Principal will either resolve the issue or, if appropriate, ask the parent(s) to submit their request in writing. The Principal is always available to meet with parents to address any questions or concerns.
