Heidt Center of Excellence

We are so happy to acknowledge our transition interns who are moving on to the next phase of their journey!

Many are graduating and pursuing employment or further education, while others are continuing in transition programs and/or adult services that will support them as they keep growing, building independence, and finding fulfillment. We couldn’t be more proud of each of them and all they have accomplished.

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated staff, supportive parents/guardians, districts, and community partners who have made these experiences possible. Your encouragement and collaboration have played such an important role in their success.

Did you know that we participate in the national school lunch program? This summer, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce is sponsoring SUN Meals, a summer food program where Kids Eat Free! All children ages 1 through 18 are eligible to receive free meals during the summer months at participating program sites.

For more information, please call 1-866-348-6479 or go to https://education.ohio.gov/.../Summer-Food-Service-Program to find a site near you.

Huge congratulations to our Heidt Center and Best Point graduates! Your hard work has brought you to this moment. Best of luck on the exciting journey ahead! 👨‍🎓🎓👩‍🎓💚

Happy Summer! ☀️
We hope all of our students had a fantastic time celebrating the final week of school! Field Day was an absolute blast, packed with fun games, high-energy activities, and—of course—the unforgettable highlight of pieing our staff members in the face.
Thank you to everyone who made the end of the school year so memorable. Wishing all of our families a wonderful, safe, and relaxing summer break!

We had the perfect wrap-up to the school year! Our students had a fantastic school-wide field trip to The Web, enjoying a fun-filled day of games and go-karts. It was the perfect way to celebrate all of their hard work and success this year! 🏎️🎮

It has been a busy week as we navigate the final month of the school year. Recently, several of our classes had the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning at both Gorman Heritage Farm and the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden🐘, giving students a great opportunity for interactive exploration.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to our phenomenal team at Heidt! We are so grateful for the dedication, energy, and heart you pour into your work each and every day. You truly make a difference in the lives of our students.

A huge thank you to the Heidt PTO for showering our staff with love this week! We’ve felt truly spoiled by the delicious lunch from Taglio’s and Crumbl Cookies, as well as some goodies from Best Point. We appreciate your support in making this week so special!

In honor of Mental Wellness Week, our students and staff held a morning wellness walk. Throughout the week, the Heidt community engaged in daily wellness activities, including health class lessons focused on mental wellness, daily gratitude journaling and other homeroom activities. We also displayed coping strategies on our Heidt Community board of students and staff to utilize. In addition to our mental health focused spirit week, we distributed stickers, bracelets, and water bottles from 1N5 to celebrate our collective well-being.
