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



Social-Emotional and Equity Learning

We have been working on CASELs competencies in orange all year. We will be continuing this work with an equity lens. You can join in the conversation with your child at home using these resources.

May’s Character Trait Focus: Courage

Next month, we will be focusing on the character trait of courage school-wide. Here are some resources so you can join in at home.

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).

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!
