HHS Parents/Guardians: Please use the following link to fill out the Free & Reduced Lunch Forms. https://secure.ezmealapp.com/ApplicationScreen.aspx The process can be done digitally and only takes a few minutes to complete. We ended the year with over $11,000 in cafeteria charges. Some of our families would have qualified and benefitted from the assistance, but they didn't fill out the form. Please take the time to fill it out even if you think you don't qualify. We want to make sure our families have all the support they need for a successful school year.

Attention HHS Parents: We are currently accepting nominations for a Parent Representative to serve a 2-year term on our Local School Governance Team. Our LSGT is vital part of our Charter system and works hand in hand with the Principal to provide stakeholder feedback and support for our school. If you would like to nominate a parent to serve in this role, please use the following link https://forms.gle/TTFqZvJmJRZ1RHje9. We will collect nominations and send a separate link at a later date to have a final vote.

All students must bring back a signed Chromebook contract form in order to be issued a Chromebook. We will be issuing Chromebooks to students who have signed forms on Monday during the school day. Students received these forms on the first day of school. Please make sure you sign this form and send it back as soon as possible to avoid any delays in coursework associated with Chrome Books.

Any student arriving after 8:15 am will need to enter through the front office. CCA, Work-Based Learning, and Dual Enrollment students who arrive on campus after 8:15 will need enter the building through the front office. We have posted signs at the gym entrance to let students know this as well.

Student drivers need to purchase a parking permit as soon as possible. Parking permits are $30 and can be purchased in the HHS Front Office.

Please remember that you have 10 days from the absence to submit notes for attendance. If you need assistance with attendance, email hhs_attendance@catoosa.k12.ga.us and one of our attendance secretaries will be glad to assist you. It is very important to submit notes on time to set your student up for success if they are working to exempt their final exams.

We are excited to announce a new bus-tracking app called Traversa MyRide K-12, starting on March 26, 2025, for the entire district. Heritage Parents will have access to our new app. MyRide K-12. Please use the QR code below to sign up for our new CCPS bus app.

Changing over to Traversa offers a more advanced and user-friendly platform designed to improve the safety and efficiency of our student transportation. Key benefits include:

• Improved Efficiency: Streamlined processes and real-time updates.

• Enhanced Safety: Advanced features to ensure student safety.

• Better Communication: Timely notifications and updates through the MyRide K-12 Parent App, allowing you to track your child’s bus.

We look forward to partnering with you to make our transportation system the best it can be.

Sincerely,

Mr. Ellis

Transportation Director CCPS

Parents, please help your students understand the importance of being aware of their surroundings. Please encourage your child to say something if they see or hear something that sounds un-safe or potentially dangerous. A courageous student willing to report something suspicious can make all the difference. This is something they should practice inside and outside of school to ensure their safety.

Students who see or hear something suspicious have many options when it comes to reporting what they see. Make sure they know they can report to an administrator, a teacher, a school counselor, or an adult they trust. They can also text hello to 741-741. Leaders cannot act on information they don't have so please encourage your student report what they see and hear if it is suspicious or dangerous. We're better together!

If your student needs support, please have them connect with one of our counselors. They serve students based on the student's last name. See below to find the contact information for your child's counselor.

Counselors:

Last Name A-D: Cassey Campbell ccampbell.hhs@catoosa.k12.ga.us

Last Name E-K: Deston Franks dfranks.hhs@catoosa.k12.ga.us

Last Name L-R: Allison Allen allen.hhs@catoosa.k12.ga.us

Last Name S-Z: Katelyn Canida kcanida.hhs@catoosa.k12.ga.us
