With the completion of our new pedestrian bridge, the school crosswalk and 20 mph school speed zone have been removed. Because of this, our drop-off and pick-up procedures have changed.

The biggest change is that all vehicles must turn right when exiting the parking lot after drop-off or pick-up. This change is necessary to help keep our students and families safe.

Because traffic on 7000 South will no longer slow for a school zone, you may experience longer wait times when entering AND exiting the parking lot.

Thank you for your patience as everyone adjusts to these new procedures. Our staff will be outside each day to help direct traffic and will stay with your child if traffic is backed up and you're delayed. Students also have the option to exit through the back of the school and walk into the neighborhood behind the school to be picked up.

Dear Heartland Elementary Community,

My name is Toni Lasater, and I am honored to join you as the new principal for the 2026-2027 school year. With nearly 20 years of experience in education, I am eager to support every child’s growth and success!
As a proud dog lover (perfect for a Husky!) I feel right at home here. My family includes my spouse, our three wonderful sons, and our two dogs, Jack and Rico. I am excited to learn about and continue the rich traditions that make Heartland Elementary such a special place, while also working together to create new memories and opportunities for our students. Building strong relationships with families, students, and staff is my top priority.

Thank you for welcoming me into your community. I look forward to meeting you all, celebrating our Husky pride, and making this year unforgettable!
Best,

Toni Lasater
