The Heritage Herald

The 2022-2023 school year is drawing to an end. There are many activities and events happening in May at HMS. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please call us (708-458-7590).

As a reminder, school starts at 7:50. Breakfast starts at 7:30. Please do not allow your child to come to school prior to 7:30 so that they are not wandering around outside unsupervised. Bus students will enter upon arrival.

Finally, it's officially time to get excited for our graduating class of 2023! Information for 8th grade parents is below. Please call the HMS main office with any questions.

Happy Spring,

• Please keep sick students at home and encourage frequent handwashing to protect others.

• Students should stay home until they are well enough to participate and are fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication. Once your student starts improving, please test for covid and send back to school with a negative result ASAP!

• Washing your hands is easy, and it's the most effective way to prevent the spread of germs... Especially stomach bugs!
• Covid home test kits will continue to be given to students sent home with covid symptoms for the remainder of the school year.

• “Once a week, take a peek” We continue to see lice cases; please check your child’s hair weekly to prevent an outbreak in your home.
