Subject: First day of school at Heritage Elementary School

Dear HES families,

We are pleased to inform you that the first day of school will be on Monday, September 9th. We wish to advise you of the following important information:

As the school grounds are still under construction, we kindly ask for everyone’s understanding and collaboration as we will need to adapt our back-to-school plans to the current conditions.

· We encourage all students using the school bus this year, to take it as of the first day, as this will help to reduce traffic around the school.

· Parents driving their child(ren) to school can do so as of 9:05 a.m. Teachers will be greeting their students outside. Students should go to the area with a sign indicating their grade level.

· All students will begin classes at the same time; there will be no staggered start.

· Parking will be limited due to ongoing construction. We ask parents to please respect the posted signage and instructions, and plan accordingly.

· Only students and staff will be allowed inside the building. We look forward to welcoming all parents for our General Assembly and Curriculum Night on September 12th. Once construction is completed, parents will be able to tour the school and see our wonderful facilities.

· Students must bring a pair of indoor shoes to wear inside the school.

For children registered in the school daycare, daycare services will begin the morning of September 9th. Please see the map below. It indicates where to Daycare drop-off and pick-up will take place. (6:30 am to 9:05 am and 4:10 pm to 6:00 pm)

Please ensure your child brings a lunch, as there is no catering service yet. The catering service will start as of September 16th, please see below for more information. For the time being, students will be eating lunch in their classrooms.

Please Kindly send your child to school with a re-fillable water bottle. They will be able to refill it as needed, throughout the day.

While the classrooms and essential facilities will be ready for the start of school, work will continue throughout the first few weeks of class to finalize common areas and the schoolyard. To ensure the safety of our students and staff during this period, security guards will be on-site to monitor and help manage the flow of workers, students, and staff around the building.

Our teachers and school team are excited and looking forward to welcoming the students on September 9th. We thank you in advance for your patience and understanding, as we complete the final stages of construction and prepare for a successful school year ahead.

In order to ensure that everyone finds their teachers and grade levels easily, we are asking the children to participate in a colourful activity for their first day of school. Each grade level will be asked to wear an accessory (hat, hair accessory, scarf, bracelet, etc.) that matches the colour of their grade level:
