The Heritage Herald

As we prepare to bring this school year to an end, please remind your students that there is still teaching and learning happening. Students are expected to be at school each day and on time. Students are also expected to be in uniform everyday unless there is a special event happening.

As a reminder, school starts at 7:50. Breakfast starts at 7:30. Please do not allow your child to come to school prior to 7:30 so that they are not wandering around outside unsupervised. Bus students will enter upon arrival.

Parents of graduating 8th grade students, please read the information in the letters below. If you have any questions please call the HMS main office (708-458-7590).

Finally, Happy Mother's Day to all of our HMS moms. We hope you have a beautiful day.
