The Heritage Herald

Teaching and learning have gotten off to a great start at HMS. Our students have adjusted to their schedules and are well on their way to having a great year. I hope to see you all at Curriculum Night!

A few reminders:

• Make sure your child charges his/her chromebook each night.
• Students should be in uniform each day (Jeans can be worn on Fridays.)
• School starts at 7:50; 8:50 on Wednesdays.

If you have any questions, please call the main office (708-458-7590).

• Washing your hands is easy, and it's the most effective way to prevent the spread of germs... Especially stomach bugs! We are seeing cases of strep throat and hand foot and mouth.

• “Once a week, take a peek” Please check your child’s hair weekly to prevent an outbreak in your home.
• As a reminder, 6th grade students without a current health exam and proof of 6th grade immunizations will be excluded from school on Monday 10/16/2023 per Illinois State Board of Education school code.
• When you send your student to school, you are attesting that your student is in good health and ready for learning. Follow these guidelines on when to return to school for our top three symptoms of illness.
