Hello Huskies,

 

Access important start of school information from the main page of our website, under the heading “Important Back to School Information”- https://www.wcpss.net/HeritageHS.   Please spend some time previewing all information and taking action where needed.  Links will continue to be added and updated as we get closer to the first day of school.

 

This past spring a team of educators were awarded a 4C's grant by Wake County Schools!  The funds will be used to operate the Husky Financial Institute for our seniors.  Our seniors will have a chance to practice using the skills they will learn about in the new Economics and Personal Finance course.  If you work in the financial industry and would like to support this new initiative, please email Bonnie Mwanda at bmwanda@wcpss.net by Friday, August 11.

North Carolina state immunization law requires that all students are up to date with immunizations by the first day of school.  For us, this is August 28.   There are no extensions for this date.  Seniors are now required to have the meningococcal vaccine.  Also, for Seniors a 2nd meningococcal vaccine may be required for students by 17 years of age or entering 12th grade. You are encouraged to immediately check with your doctor to ensure your child is up to date and provide the school with an updated copy of the shot record.  If you do not have a healthcare provider, you can call 919-562-6300 to schedule an appointment at the Health and Human Services Northern Regional Center.  Do not delay in providing this information to our school.  You can email the records to kohara@wcpss.net, fax to 919-670-4212, or drop off records in the main office, Monday-Friday, 8:00 am – 2:00 pm.

 

Seniors are reminded to complete the task of getting your senior portrait for the yearbook.  Go to their website here or call (800) 343-5735 to schedule. This is a busy time for Prestige.  Continue to call if there are no appointments available.
