Heritage Schools was informed that one student has tested positive for COVID. Heritage protects the privacy of students according to both FERPA and HIPPA guidelines so case reports will not have specific identifying information unless we are directed by CUPHD for expanded communications.
Heritage Schools has been approved to administer and is using the BinaxNow rapid COVID test (by parent consent) which can be used in the moment at school if a student has symptoms or under "test to stay" policy for a negative result.
We appreciate everyone striving to keep us safe and in school!

Heritage parents & guardians, some reminders for the Student Drop Off Lane at the front of Homer Building for the AM drop off: Safety is priority one so only drop off in the drop off lane, not in lanes beyond the parking lot safety island. Please pull forward into the lane as 3-4 cars can fit at once in lane when dropping off to front door, the lane was designed for that volume and not one car at a time which takes more time. Also, please do not exit the vehicle with your children. Please make sure your child(ren) have a mask for school each day. The sooner we can safely exit vehicles and enter school, the sooner the instructional day can start for teachers which helps us all as we navigate this pandemic. Thank you!
