Heritage Academy
Children are a heritage from the Lord... Psalm 127:3
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you have a dress code?
Yes. Students wear solid color polo shirts with navy blue, black, or khaki pants, shorts, or skorts. Clean, neat jeans are also acceptable. Athletic shoes are required for PE three times a week. There are no requirements for jackets or sweaters, but HERITAGE ACADEMY sweatshirts are available for purchase.
What is your discipline policy?
We believe that children should be respectful at all times and that they should honor the directions given by the teacher or other HERITAGE ACADEMY adult. When there is a problem, we immediately try to discover if it was disobedience or mere childhood irresponsibility. Childhood irresponsibility is handled through re-training and re-directing. Deliberate disobedience could lead to a teacher “conference” with the child or children, an appropriate time-out, an apology (either verbal or written), a call home, and if needed, a conference with the student, the parents and the principal.
Do you have after-school care?
Yes. Extended Day Care (EDC) is available from 2:45 –5:30 for an additional charge. The Way to Go Program is run by Mrs. Luckie Leiva. There are clubs, piano and violin lessons, sports, and art projects. It is much more than babysitting or study hall.
Do you have a hot lunch program?
Yes. Hot lunch can be ordered Monday-Friday. Three healthy choices are provided and lunch is delivered directly to the school. Orders are placed at the beginning of every month.
Do you have a PE and sports program?
We offer a structured PE class twice weekly for grades 3-6. Skills, games, strategy and fun are included. For an hour each Tuesday, ever child participates in Tumble Time Gymnastics. At this time, we have no official sports teams, but we do have our “Huskies” logo ready for our sports shirts when the time arrives. We hope to have basketball and soccer teams in the very near future for both boys and girls.
How can parents participate?
We love having parents on campus helping with class, cooking, art, and science projects, helping in the office and with “clean-up/move out” on Fridays, occasional grading, and with parties. We welcome parents!
Do you have a Board of Directors?
Yes, the principal is responsible to a Board of Directors. The Board oversees policy and finances.
Do you accept donations?
Yes. HERITAGE ACADEMY is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation and any donations are fully tax deductible.
