All visitors to Heritage must enter through the main office where they will be required to sign in and present identification. If an individual is interested in volunteering in a classroom at Heritage, he or she must have a completed CRC (Criminal Records Check) on file here at the building and have their visit scheduled with the classroom teacher. A CRC is good for the school year that it was completed in, so it is important to make sure you complete the process if you would like to volunteer in the building in the new school year.

ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
PLEASE CALL OUR 24-HOUR ATTENDANCE LINE AT 248-684-8191, FOR ALL ATTENDANCE RELATED CALLS. PLEASE ONLY CALL THE MAIN LINE IF YOU NEED TO SPEAK TO THE OFFICE.
Attendance is an important component in a student’s education. If we do not hear from you, it is our policy to call to verify your student’s absence. You must contact the attendance line to excuse an absence. Teachers are not always able to check emails or may have a guest teacher. They also do not have the ability to communicate every absence to the office.
ILLNESS
Please do not send your child back to school until they have been vomit-free, diarrhea-free, and fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication.
EXTENDED ABSENCES AND VACATIONS
If your child(ren) will be absent for an extended period of time, please make sure to complete a pre-arranged absence form available in the Heritage Main Office.
When a student is called out of class at the end of the day, it interferes with student instruction time and disrupts the entire class. Please try to schedule appointments or events around vacation time or after school is over. If you must sign your child out, please do so in the office. Early dismissal ends by 3:45PM, so please be sure to pick up prior to then if you need to sign your child out early.
Protocol for picking your student(s) up early:
You do not need to notify or call the office in advance. It is our policy that students cannot be sent down to the office in advance. We can only call students down once someone is here to pick them up and sign them out. You may give your student's teacher advance notice you will be picking them up early so that they are prepared, however, they cannot be sent to the office to wait. Upon arrival, please press the call button with your ID facing the camera. While waiting for your child to be called down, please sign them out on the clipboard in the vestibule.
- Please have your passenger visor down with the name card visible.
- For safety reasons, we ask that drivers and other adults remain in the car during pick up and drop-off.
- STUDENTS CAN BEGIN EXITING CARS AT 9:05 am; staff will be there to supervise this process.
- STUDENTS MAY ONLY BE DROPPED OFF VIA THE PARENT DROP OFF LANE.
- When possible, please move your child seat to the passenger side of the vehicle.
- Drivers will need to remain in their lane until all students have been unloaded; you are not allowed to pass other cars if your student unloaded first.
- The school day ends at 4:08 pm. Please DO NOT PARK AND EXIT your car to meet students. You may only pick up from the car pick up lane.
If your student requires a medical plan of care and/or medication while at school, please remember to fill out the necessary HVS PLAN OF CARE forms and return to the office. All medication should be turned into the office in their original containers and/or packaging clearly labeling the student's prescription information and medication identification. Please contact the office at 248-684-8190 or email janette.malinowski@hvs.org with any questions.
HVS Plan of Care Forms can be found HERE . If medication at school is required you MUST fill out an Administering Plan of Care in addition to any other required forms.
