After school Reminder to Students and Families: At the completion of classes each day, students are required to be out of the building by 3:00 pm. Students wanting to attend an evening activity or practice MUST leave the building and return at the of the time of the event or practice. Exceptions include students that are under the direct supervision of a teacher, coach, administrator, etc. (such as: tutoring, practice, or a school sponsored event).

Heritage School Doors will be unlocked at 7:15 am and relocked at 7:40 am for the start of school. Students MUST leave the building right after school is dismissed.

Students must wear their student ID at all times and student planners are required when leaving the classroom.

Attendance Time-Saver Tips for student leaving during school time:

• For a scheduled appointment for your student, send a note. Include on the note: DATE, TIME LEAVING SCHOOL, & PARENT SIGNATURE. The student will take the note to the Attendance Office and will receive a pass. When it is time to leave, the student will take the pass to C Doors and then leave school ground through C Doors.

• For unscheduled student pick-up, you will need to show your ID to the Reception Window C Doors, and you will sign out your student. Your student WILL NOT be called down to C Doors ahead of time.

Students are not permitted to bring in or order outside food and drinks (does not apply to students bringing their own lunch from home). The school will not accept unauthorized deliveries for food or drinks, and you will still be held responsible for the cost of the order.

Security Notice: In an effort to keep safety the top priority with STCS, the number of visitors allowed in the lobby/vestibule will be limited to manageable numbers. Visitors will remain outside until buzzed in.

Homework Request Procedure: If your student is absent, email your student’s teachers via the Heritage website to determine how to get homework. Homework is either posted in Google Classroom or the teacher will provide a hard copy. Hard copy homework can be picked up at the C Door Entrance between 2:45 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on the next school day. Please call ahead to verify homework is ready at 989-921-2910.

Heritage High School has an online credit/debit card option through Skyward for student fees/fines and other school related purchases. Partial payments are not available when paying with a credit/debit card. Credit/Debit card payments are ONLY available when paying online and are not accepted at the Cashier’s Office. American Express Cards are NOT accepted.

Please remember to check your student’s Skyward Family Access for your student’s fee balance, grades, and other information pertaining to your student.

Heritage High School does not accept balloons, candy, flowers or other items delivered to the school for students.

Medication Consent Forms: If your student needs to take medication (prescriptions and/or over the counter) at school, they MUST have a Medication Consent Form on file. Please remember BOTH the parent and physician’s signature MUST be on the form. Students are NOT allowed to bring the medication to school; parent/guardian MUST bring the medication to school.

Address Change – Have you moved or are you planning on moving? You will need to update your address in your student’s Skyward Account under Address or Housing Change. You will need to provide two proofs of residency. Examples of one acceptable proof of residency are: lease or mortgage statement, utility bills (electric, cable, water, gas, etc.), NO Cell phone bill, property tax notice, with your address on it. The second proof is mandatory; a driver's license or State ID. All proofs need to be current (within 30 days) and brought to Heritage’s Counseling Office.

Mailbox Reminder – The US Post Office delivers mail to occupants based on last name of individuals. They may choose to not deliver mail if the last name is not on the mailbox. It is important all family’s last names are listed as recipients of mail to the address. Leave a note in the mailbox listing all the last names to receive mail at the address. This will ensure all STCS mail is delivered to the address and will avoid having to verify the address when mail is returned.
