PTO Budget

This 2022-2023 School Year proved to be a HUGE success with regard to fundraising. The PTO was able to meet ALL of their goals this year. Some special highlights going to:

Events

• Fall Festival
• Holiday Grams
• Book Fair
• School Dance
• Chalk Festival
• Family Restaurant Nights
• Fun Run (Coming This Week)

There is an approximate budget remaining of $50,000 that will be rolled over into next year. $35,000 of these funds are reserved to pay for the biggest goal of purchasing and upgrading all classrooms with 75 inch televisions for instructional purposes. The TV’s will be installed over the summer break. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

The remaining $15,000 (approximate) will roll over into next year’s budget and will allow the PTO to start with beginning of year events, PTO membership drive, purchase of Heritage Swag (Sweatshirts, t-shirts, etc.).

Thank you to the PTO for ALL your hard work, dedication, and support this academic school year!

Thank you to the parents who attended this year’s events and graciously donated and helped to fund all our school-wide goals and Grade Level Grants.

We are SUPER APPRECIATIVE of you!!

Extended Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP)

“Extended Learning” means before-school, after-school, weekend, summer, or intersession learning programs that focus on developing pupils’ academic, social, emotional, and physical needs and interests through hands-on, engaging learning experiences. The Legislature intends that expanded learning programs are pupil-centered, results-driven, include community partners, and complement, but do not replicate, learning activities in the regular school day and school year.

We need your help to gather ideas about what programs we would like to add to our school’s before and/or after school program. If you or a community member have a special talent and are interested in leading a program please add your information to the ELOP Brainstorm Form.

From the HEALTH OFFICE

TK families….Please be on the lookout for a notice from the school nurse regarding missing CHDP physicals (green form) and oral assessments (pink form). Summer break is the perfect time to make those appointments and get those forms filled out. If you would like to opt out of those 2 requirements, please fill out the waivers and send them to the health office.

Reminder for those with medications at school….You will need to pick up your medications from the health office by the last day of school or the medication will be discarded. Medications and updated MD orders will be due for the next school year. New forms will be sent home in the next couple weeks.

Donations needed….Heritage Health Office needs donations of clean clothes to have on hand for children who need to change clothes during the school day. If you have any clean children’s clothes that you no longer need, please bring to the health office. We are also accepting donations of new, packaged socks and underwear for this same purpose. Thank you!

Good Morning, Heritage Hawks!

It was another wonderful week at Heritage First we’d like to say congratulations to all 5^th grade students for working hard on the CA state science test (CAST) last week! We are proud of you! Coming up, May 1-5, grades 3 and 4 will be taking the English Language Arts (ELA) and Math state tests. The following week, May 8-12, grades 5 and 6 will be taking their ELA and Math tests. Please get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast and be on time all 5 days! Our Hawks can finish strong!

Have you ordered your Heritage Chalk Festival calendar yet? For only $12 you can own a 2023-2024 school calendar showcasing our student art along with having all the important dates already included! Order by 4/28 at https://bit.ly/23chalkcalendar today!
Missed out on being here for the Chalk Festival? No worries, here’s a quick peek into the event and all the fun we had!https://youtu.be/8dRC6cP7zpQ

This week we are celebrating awesome attendance in rooms: 401 with 100%, 409 with 100%, 505 with 98%, 602 with 98%, 607 with 100%, and 702 with 98%. Please be sure to help your child’s class win an attendance award by bringing your child to school every day on time.

How Should We Spend Our Money?

Every year Heritage develops a budget aligned to goals that supplement our baseline educational program.  These supplemental resources are intended to ensure positive outcomes for all of our students.  As parents/guardians, your input is an important voice in creating goals and a budget that is responsive to student need.  Please share your thoughts on this brief survey: Parent LCAP Budget Survey

Mental Wellness Program

We are excited to share that a new mental wellness program for your child is available. This program is designed for students aged 8 years & older. Campus Clinic allows parents to schedule one-on-one visits with a licensed provider. Parents are encouraged to attend the first visit via telehealth, and then schedule 12 additional 30-minute sessions between their student and the provider either in person at the designated location in the school or via telehealth.

Families do have the opportunity to continue these visits through summer & holidays as well. Visits are billed through insurance (the cost of the program is generally covered by insurance providers including Medi-Cal & private insurance companies).

If your child has COVID-like symptoms such as fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, and/or diarrhea they will need to provide proof of a negative COVID test to remain in school.

Those with symptoms can return with a negative COVID test, no fever for 24 hours without fever-reducing medication, and symptoms improving. Students do not need to be symptom-free to attend school.

Heritage Health Office needs donations of clean clothes to have on hand for children who need to change clothes. If you have any clean children’s shorts or sweatpants that you no longer need, please bring to the health office. We are also accepting donations of new, packaged socks and underwear for this same purpose.
