Happy November! Just a reminder that we have some upcoming days off of school this month. Please check calendars to make sure you are aware of the days that there is no school for students. The PTA is in need of volunteers to support the Holiday Gift Shop at the end of the month. If you are able to sign up for a time slot, please click the link listed in the PTA news below. We appreciate your continued support of HES through donations, volunteering, and participation in events!
Bus updates
Unfortunately we have had several bus routes that have been uncovered recently and we have found that the information on the Here Comes the Bus App is not always accurate. It is suggested that families use the WCPSS transportation updates webpage for more accurate information. This page is refreshed every 15 minutes. You can access this page at https://www.wcpss.net/busupdates. Scroll down to “Heritage” under the elementary schools and check for updates there.
Fall Picture Make-Ups
Picture make-ups will be held on November 15th for any student who was absent or needs a retake. Make-ups will be held from 8:30am - 9:30am.
Kindergarten Enrollment
Enrollment is open for Kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year for students who will be 5 years old by August 31, 2024. If you have a rising Kindergartener, please begin the enrollment process by visiting our website at https://www.wcpss.net/domain/11634. If you have friends that live in our base, please encourage them to begin the process as well! If you have questions regarding this process, please contact our data manager, Mary Canny at mcanny@wcpss.net. Early enrollment will help us to begin to plan for next year!

Visit Join the PTA to become a PTA member for the 2023-2024 school year! All members must rejoin every year. We welcome and love volunteers, and we appreciate all those willing to take time out of their schedules to attend PTA meetings. However, joining the PTA does not mean you have to volunteer or attend meetings. Joining requires no time commitment. Your membership dues alone help support our school.
