Dear Heritage Families,
Welcome to the 2026–27 school year!
As we celebrate the 31st anniversary of The Heritage School, I am excited to begin another year of learning, growth, and partnership with our incredible students, families, and staff. Together, we remain committed to our mission of "ensuring that every student reaches their highest potential through engaging, rigorous instruction, a safe and caring environment, and strong partnerships between staff, parents, and students. It is this shared commitment that continues the Heritage tradition of academic excellence and strong character."
To help families prepare for the new year, grade-level school supply lists and our student dress code are available on our website. Please remember that school supplies are requested rather than required, and students will have a few days after school begins before they will need them.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone at Back to School Night on Wednesday, August 12, from 4:30–6:30 p.m. You will be able to view your child's teacher through the Aeries Parent Portal a few days before school begins. Please continue to check both Aeries and ClassDojo for important updates. You'll also find introductions to our new staff members and information about grade-level changes in our upcoming August newsletter and on our website.
Our wonderful VIPA partners are already preparing for another great year and will once again provide a free pizza dinner for all Heritage families during Back to School Night! Be sure to stop by the VIPA table to learn about membership and discover ways you can get involved. Please note that VIPA will not be selling disaster packs this year, and additional information about this change will be included in our August newsletter.
Throughout the school year, my goal is to keep our Heritage community informed through regular emails, monthly newsletters, phone messages, ClassDojo, our website, and our page. In the coming weeks, we'll be sharing additional information about our new staff members, upcoming events, VIPA activities, and arrival and dismissal procedures.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support of The Heritage School. We are looking forward to another outstanding year and can't wait to welcome everyone back on campus. Enjoy the rest of your summer, and we'll see you soon at Back to School Night!
Warmly,
Debbie Arbizu
Principal, The Heritage School
