School Day: 8:50-3:38

Drop off- Begins at 8:35am. We will continue with our same procedure as last year. For safety, please do not let your child out of your car until they are in the designated area (Sidewalk in front of the school) for drop off.

Class begins at 8:50am. Please make sure that your student is here on time to start the day.

Pick up: We will continue with our same procedure as last year. As parents pull up the the sidewalk in front of Heritage, members of the staff will support the process to ensure student are safely supported to their cars.

Please expect some delays during the first few weeks of school as we streamline processes and support our students. This will ensure the safety of all our students.

Stockbridge Community Outreach is a local food pantry and crisis center located in Stockbridge at the Stockbridge Activity Center (the old middle school off of Cherry & Elm Streets) just inside Door#20. We are supported by area churches, businesses, individuals, grants, governments, and community groups. We are happy to again offer our Tide Me Over program for Pre-K through High School students who need extra food on the weekends for the 2023–2024 school year.

The “Tide-Me-Over” program will give students in the program a bag of groceries each Friday

starting September 15 and continuing through the rest of the school year. The bag contains items like macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, canned chicken or tuna, cereal, and canned fruit. Here’s how it works at Heritage:

• Bags will be placed in student lockers each week or can be picked up at Outreach during open hours on Wednesdays and Fridays or by arrangement.

If you are interested in participating in our “Tide-Me-Over” program, please fill out the form that was sent home and return it as soon as possible to Stockbridge Community Outreach by email, mail, or in person, or you can send it in to your child’s school office where an Outreach volunteer will pick it up.

Sincerely,

Jo Mayer, Outreach Board Chair
