Core Virtue:

Mark your calendar:
Our Easter Break is scheduled for March 17th-March 21st. School will resume on Monday, March 24th.

Sun Safety:
Due to rain last week, Sun Safety Day has been rescheduled to next Thursday, March 6th. On this day, students caught wearing their school-approved navy blue visors or logo ball caps while on the playground, will be rewarded with a prize.

Lunches:
Please remember we do not carry money in the front office to make change or vouchers for lunch money. Pizza and Taco lunches must be paid at time of purchase, we do not have credit.
Please keep in mind when packing your student’s lunches, that we do not have refrigerators or microwaves available for the students. Unfortunately, we do not provide spoons, forks, straws or napkins. In addition, the office also serves as our sick bay. We ask that you do not bring your student’s lunch to the office to be picked up. On a rare occasion when your child forgets their lunch, you may bring their lunch to the office and we will do our best to get it to them. NO hot lunches (Taco Bell, Burger King…..) of any type can be accepted.

Sick/Homework Policy:
If your child is “to sick” to come to school, please keep them at home and know that they will have time to make up their work when they return to school. When the student returns to school they will be given one day for each day absent to make up their missing work.

Piano Club:
No Piano Club on Monday, March 3rd. Classes will resume on Thursday, March 6th.

Volunteer Opportunity:
STAR testing will take place April 7th through April 16th. During the STAR testing time we will need volunteers to act as proctors for the tests. If you are interested, please contact Miss Nugent at snugent@echs.org.

Middle School Yearbook Committee:
We will be meeting on Wednesdays (March 5th and 12th) after school in the computer room to work on our yearbook pages. Please have your parents pick you up promptly at 3:45 p.m. at the “0” period gate. Any questions, call Annette Morton at 749-7358 or 214-4289.

Library:
Happy Birthday to Carlee Pearo, and thank you to her family for honoring her by donating a book to the school library.

PAB Elections:
On or before 3:30 p.m., on March 3, 2008, any person who wishes to be a member of the Heritage K-8 Charter School Parent Advisory Board must submit to the secretary of the Board a one-page statement setting forth his or her history and reasons for wanting to be on the Board. Statements can be placed in the Board mailbox located in the front office. If you wish to confirm receipt, please leave your telephone number so the secretary can call you.

Yearbooks:
Parents, don’t miss out on capturing your child’s memories. Order your Heritage K-8 Yearbook now. Order forms are available in the office. Yearbooks are priced at $15.
The Yearbook Committee still needs all of the shutterbug parents to continue to drop off your child’s class photo CD’s. We really appreciate all of the submissions so far, and we know this year’s yearbook is going to turn out well. Don’t forget to separate the pictures into different files, labeled by the class and event on the CD. Thank you for your participation.

Lottery 2008:
If you have a sibling that is not enrolled at Heritage K-8 and you would like them to attend, you must sign them up for the lottery by March 6th. Questions? Contact Judy Brooks at (760) 737-3154.
