This Week at Heritage High

Attention HHS Students & Parents: Heritage will host our Annual Open House this Wednesday, August 6th, from 6:00 - 8:00 pm. Students will be able to walk their schedules and meet their teachers. Transportation will be available for questions. We will be selling lockers, parking permits, and some new Heritage "swag" for those who are interested. Cafeteria staff will also be available to assist in filling out the Free/Reduced Lunch Form and to help families add money to student lunch accounts. We are excited to see all of our Generals back on campus and especially excited to welcome the Class Of 2029 to Heritage High School. It's going to be our best year yet!! Go Generals!!!

Tickets are sale now for next weekend's football scrimmage between the Heritage Generals and East Hamilton at Finley Stadium. This is a unique opportunity to see our football team play in a college stadium close to home. You can purchase your tickets from the HHS front office for $10. Tickets purchased through out front office will help raise money for our athletic programs. They will be on sale at the gate but our school will benefit more if you purchase them through out front office. Tickets will not be available on GoFan. Tickets will be available during Open House as well. Don't miss your chance to see our Generals start the season!! Go Generals!!!

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.

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!

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.

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.
