All grades (K-6) and all students have been working on a dance performance to share with you. All families are invited. We will be outside on the East Field. The dance starts at 11:00 am sharp. Please bring your own lawn chairs, blankets, etc. This will be a very fun activity to finish up the school year. Immediately following the dance festival we invite you to stay and enjoy a school-wide picnic. Heartland will serve chicken sandwiches, and chips for all families free of charge. Students lunches will be as usual through the cafeteria lunch program but will be served outside so you can picnic together. You are welcome to bring your own picnic food as well. If you wish to take your students home at any time before 12:30, you must still check them out. We will have check out areas by the 2nd and 4th grade doors. You must show your ID to check out students. Otherwise, all students will be released at 12:30. Lunch and breakfast will be served today.

* Don't forget to send in your Heartland's Got Talent Videos. They are due by midnight on Sunday.

24-25 Back to School Information

August 2024

Dear Heartland Families,

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year. I want to start by expressing a heartfelt thank you for sending your children to Heartland. On behalf of all our staff, we appreciate your trust and confidence. Please know that as a school we are doing all we can to provide a safe, happy, and supportive learning environment where students, teachers, and staff can have a successful school year. Please know that I am happy to visit with you anytime you have questions or concerns; my door is always open.

Continuing students will need to register online only to update their contact information, communication preferences, and apply for free/reduced lunch (if applicable). A letter was sent home on August 1st with your current username and password to complete this registration online. New student registration began August 1st. Our office will be open from 8:00-3:00 daily. Please share this information with your new neighbors and friends. (Kindergarten families if you haven't already brought your additional documentation please do so).

School will begin for grades K-6 on Wednesday, August 21, 2024. Back-to-School Night will be held inside Heartland on Monday, August 19th. Teachers will be at tables to meet with parents and students as well as talk about their classrooms for the year. There will also be booths for PTA, Choir, Orchestra, and Heartland's Family Learning Center. We will have school supplies available for families that need them. Back to school night will begin at 5:00 pm. Prior to that at 4:45 we will be holding a brief parent and PTA meeting to discuss the PTA budget for all of our school events this year. During back to school night Preschool & EXCEL will be in their classrooms, Kindergarten, and Third grade Teachers will be in the library. First grade, Second grade, and Fourth grade teachers will be in the lunch room, Fifth grade teachers will be in the gym and Sixth grade teachers will be in their classroom. School supplies will be located in the gym. Make sure you checkout our specials classrooms, Art and Science, as well as our Wellness Room

Our school schedule is Monday - Thursday is 8:30 – 3:05. Breakfast will begin at 8:00 am. Students should not arrive before 8:00 am if they are eating breakfast. Other students should not arrive before 8:20. Friday’s schedule will be 8:30-12:30. This short-day schedule will also be followed on any short week; the last day of the week will follow the typical Friday schedule. Lunch and breakfast will still be provided on short days.

Communication between school and family is extremely important. Heartland will be using Parent Square to communicate with all families. Please make sure that your contact information, especially a valid cellphone number and email are updated in your registration. This new program will also allow teachers and families to send messages back and forth. There are also over 100 languages that will be used. This message and all others should automatically translate to your home language listed in Skyward. Please make sure you mark in your registration that you want to receive all district communication as this includes messages from the school, teachers, and principal. You may also wish to follow us on Facebook. You do not need to download the Parent Square app to receive messages, although I would strongly encourage you to do so.

I look forward to another great year at Heartland,

Buddy D. Alger
Principal
