Hello Huskies,

 

Happy Friday!  We have two weeks of classes left until exam week.  Please help us encourage our students to stay engaged, make good decisions, and finish the year strong.

 

Access our final exam schedule here or on the homepage of our website.  Buses will pick students up after exams and take them home.  Buses will leave Heritage High School on Monday and Tuesday of exam week at 12:45 pm and at 12:15 pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

 

Students enrolled in Math 1, Math 3, English 2, and Biology will take the EOC State Test at the end of this semester. All students who pass an EOC tested course but score Non-Proficient on the EOC State Test will be eligible for a Remediation and Readministration opportunity, which includes both Fall and Spring Semesters. Should your child meet the criteria for the program, parents will receive an invitation for their child to attend the program after the EOC testing window closes for our school on Friday, June 9th. The program dates are June 12 and 14. Transportation and meals will be provided.

 

Students have one more week to submit course request changes for 2023-2024, which are due by Friday, May 26.  Please return signed course verification forms to Student Services even if there are no changes to be made.  As a reminder, students are asked to review this information they received weeks ago very carefully as course change request options may not be available in August.

 

We need your feedback.  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.  Survey closes TODAY!  Access survey by going to bit.ly/WCPSSFamilySurvey

Seniors with scholarship offers are asked to report them, whether they accept them or not, so that we may have an accurate accounting for the Class of 2023.  The reporting form is located online and paper copies are available in Student Services.
