‭If‬‭you‬‭wish‬‭to‬‭donate‬‭other‬‭books,‬‭they‬‭can‬‭be‬‭passed‬‭on‬‭to‬‭classroom‬‭collections‬ ‭or‬ ‭donated‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬ ‭public‬ ‭library.‬ ‭The‬ ‭Literary‬ ‭Guild‬ ‭assists‬ ‭the‬ ‭librarian‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭organization and maintenance of the library.‬ ‭Class Lists‬ ‭Each‬ ‭year,‬ ‭the‬ ‭Principal‬ ‭and‬ ‭teachers‬ ‭will‬ ‭thoughtfully‬ ‭and‬ ‭prayerfully‬ ‭make‬ ‭decisions‬ ‭about‬ ‭student‬ ‭class‬ ‭assignments.‬ ‭At‬ ‭Heritage,‬ ‭we‬ ‭strive‬ ‭to‬ ‭provide‬ ‭every‬‭student‬‭with‬‭the‬‭best‬‭possible‬‭academic‬‭experience‬‭each‬‭year.‬ ‭Our‬‭goal‬‭is‬ ‭to‬ ‭fairly‬‭address‬‭the‬‭needs‬‭of‬‭all‬‭students‬‭in‬‭each‬‭classroom;‬‭therefore,‬ ‭requests‬ ‭for‬ ‭specific‬ ‭teachers‬ ‭or‬ ‭classes‬ ‭cannot‬ ‭be‬ ‭accepted.‬ ‭Class‬ ‭groupings‬ ‭of‬ ‭students‬‭are‬‭determined‬‭by‬‭a‬‭number‬‭of‬‭factors,‬‭including‬‭academic‬‭performance,‬ ‭as‬ ‭well‬ ‭as‬ ‭social‬ ‭and‬ ‭disciplinary‬ ‭needs.‬ ‭Parents‬ ‭are‬ ‭always‬ ‭encouraged‬ ‭to‬ ‭communicate‬‭with‬‭the‬‭classroom‬‭teacher‬‭and‬‭Principal‬‭throughout‬‭the‬‭school‬‭year‬ ‭regarding‬‭any‬‭areas‬‭of‬‭concern‬‭for‬‭their‬‭student.‬ ‭Class‬‭lists‬‭for‬‭the‬‭coming‬‭school‬ ‭year are emailed in late July/early August.‬ ‭Tutoring‬ ‭Students‬ ‭who‬ ‭could‬ ‭benefit‬ ‭from‬ ‭tutoring‬ ‭have‬ ‭this‬ ‭option‬ ‭at‬ ‭Heritage.‬ ‭Arrangements‬ ‭can‬ ‭be‬ ‭made‬ ‭for‬ ‭after-school‬ ‭tutoring‬ ‭by‬ ‭Heritage‬ ‭teachers‬ ‭if‬ ‭available, with payment per agreement and paid directly to the teacher.‬ ‭Make-up Work‬ ‭Students‬‭who‬‭are‬‭absent‬‭for‬‭any‬‭reason‬‭are‬‭required‬‭to‬‭make‬‭up‬‭work‬‭missed‬‭in‬ ‭each‬ ‭subject.‬ ‭Normally,‬ ‭one‬ ‭day‬ ‭will‬ ‭be‬ ‭allowed‬ ‭for‬ ‭each‬ ‭day‬ ‭missed,‬ ‭except‬ ‭in‬ ‭cases‬ ‭of‬ ‭prolonged‬ ‭absences‬ ‭where‬ ‭the‬ ‭teacher‬ ‭involved‬ ‭may‬ ‭make‬ ‭other‬ ‭provisions.‬ ‭It‬‭is‬‭the‬‭student’s‬‭and‬‭the‬‭parents’‬‭responsibility‬‭to‬‭obtain‬‭all‬‭make-up‬ ‭work‬ ‭from‬ ‭his/her‬ ‭teacher.‬ ‭Failure‬ ‭to‬ ‭obtain‬ ‭make-up‬ ‭work‬ ‭is‬ ‭no‬ ‭excuse‬ ‭for‬ ‭not‬ ‭doing‬ ‭work‬ ‭missed.‬ ‭When‬ ‭tests‬ ‭are‬ ‭missed‬ ‭due‬‭to‬‭an‬‭absence,‬‭they‬‭are‬‭to‬‭be‬ ‭taken‬ ‭at‬ ‭the‬ ‭teacher’s‬ ‭convenience.‬ ‭Parents‬ ‭are‬ ‭responsible‬ ‭for‬ ‭making‬ ‭the‬ ‭necessary arrangements.‬ ‭Probation‬ ‭A‬ ‭student‬ ‭who‬ ‭is‬ ‭consistently‬ ‭unsatisfactory‬ ‭in‬ ‭achievement‬ ‭or,‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭opinion‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭teacher,‬ ‭is‬ ‭not‬ ‭making‬ ‭sufficient‬ ‭effort,‬ ‭will‬ ‭be‬ ‭placed‬‭on‬‭academic‬‭probation.‬ ‭The‬ ‭parents‬ ‭will‬ ‭be‬ ‭informed‬ ‭of‬ ‭this‬ ‭action.‬ ‭If‬ ‭the‬ ‭teacher‬ ‭and‬ ‭administration‬ ‭do‬ ‭not‬ ‭see‬ ‭marked‬ ‭improvement‬ ‭by‬ ‭the‬ ‭next‬ ‭grading‬ ‭period,‬ ‭the‬ ‭parents‬ ‭may‬ ‭be‬ ‭asked‬ ‭to‬ ‭withdraw‬ ‭the‬ ‭student‬ ‭or‬ ‭to‬‭enter‬‭him‬‭in‬‭a‬‭specially‬‭designed‬‭program‬‭of‬ ‭study.‬ ‭A‬ ‭student‬ ‭will‬ ‭be‬ ‭automatically‬ ‭placed‬ ‭on‬ ‭academic‬ ‭probation‬ ‭upon‬ ‭receiving‬ ‭a‬ ‭“U”‬ ‭(grades‬ ‭1-2)‬ ‭or‬ ‭an‬ ‭“F”‬ ‭(grades‬‭3-5)‬‭in‬‭any‬‭two‬‭academic‬‭subjects‬ ‭during a given quarterly grading period.‬
