HMS Friday Flyover

Hello Hawks!

What an incredible start to the school year at Heineman! It was so exciting to welcome our Hawks back for the first day of school and see our hallways filled once again with energy, laughter, and connection.

We kicked off our ALL IN—Every Student Matters! theme with a fun, high-energy assembly. It was a great opportunity to come together as a school community, celebrate what it means to be a Hawk, and reinforce the idea that every student plays an important role in making Heineman a special place. The enthusiasm and school spirit throughout the assembly were an awesome way to begin the year.

The excitement continued with Volleyball Open House, where our student-athletes had the chance to practice some skills for the upcoming tryouts. We are looking forward to cheering them on and seeing all of the hard work, teamwork, and Hawk pride they bring to the court.

It has already been a great beginning, and we are just getting started. Thank you to our students, staff, and families for helping make the opening of the school year such a positive one.

Go All IN Today!

Please remember to send in a medical note for your child if they have missed school for an appointment. This helps us accurately track each student's attendance properly and avoids unexcused absences. You may also email your note to our Attendance Secretary, Mrs. Lisa Meyers at limeyers@district158.org.

If you child will be out due to a vacation, please have them pick up a vacation absence form in the school office. This will help our office properly track attendance . These absences are considered unexcused per District 158 that follows the State of Illinois policies.
