Thank you to our PTA and all of our families for spoiling our teachers and staff this week during Teacher Appreciation Week! Our staff is truly amazing and they pour their hearts into our students each day and it was great to see the extra love you have shown to them this week! 

 

Next week starts the End of Grade Testing for our Track 1 students in grades 3-5. Please continue to carpool and work hard to get students to school on time, focus on a great night's sleep, eat a great breakfast at home or at school and encourage your students to try their best! We know all of our students will do a fantastic job because they have worked hard all year!

 

Today is the LAST DAY to give your feedback! Panorama Survey - YOUR FEEDBACK MATTERS!

Please help HES continue to grow and improve to meet the needs of all students and families by taking the WCPSS Panorama Survey! 

Our school and district values you and your feedback. Heritage Elementary wants to know how we are doing! Help us make your child’s school experience as positive and beneficial as possible by giving honest, thoughtful responses to the questions in our family survey. The link to the survey will be live until May 15th. surveys.panoramaed.com/wakecounty/family

 

The survey takes just a few minutes and it means a lot to us when you provide feedback to help us improve!

 

 

May Wellness Newsletter

Please take some time to read the May Wellness Newsletter from one of our school counselors, Ms. Kalec. This newsletter provides great resources in ENGLISH and SPANISH to support families in supporting your child’s mental health, test anxiety, end of year transitions, and other parent resources. Reach out to Ms. Kalec with any questions at ekalec@wcpss.net.

 

Lunch Visitor Reminders

We are always happy to have you visit your student for lunch! As a reminder, please plan to eat at the back table with your student when you visit. Additional friends should not be invited to the back table to join you. Thank you!
