The Pinnacle Periodical

The 24-25 school year officially starts in four days! Our Pinnacle teachers and staff are eager and excited to see all of our scholars on Monday, August 5, 2024.

First Day of School Reminders and Instructions

• Our campus will open at 7:30 a.m. On the first day ONLY, parents are permitted to park and walk their scholar(s) onto campus and to the classroom. Plan to give a hug and kiss outside the door. Only scholars will come inside the classroom.
• Driveline will take MUCH longer than normal the first few days of school. Please be patient and kind! You can help the process be faster and more efficient by keeping your eyes up and alert, following staff directions when they ask you to move forward, and instructing your scholars to exit and enter the vehicle quickly. Please say your goodbyes before arriving at the drop off point.
• All medication MUST be dropped off to the front office by an adult with the appropriate paperwork.
• Have you signed up for myhotlunchbox.com and Hero Club (childcare after school)? See below for details.

Have a great weekend and see you on Monday!

NOTE! Some of our vendors take a few weeks to ship polos. If you are concerned that your new scholar won't have his or her new Heritage polo by the first day of school, your scholar may wear a plain white, red, or navy blue polo shirt until your shipment arrives.

Please join us for our first Parent-Teacher Organization meeting of the year on

Wednesday, August 14th at 6:00 p.m.

Afternoon driveline is 3:15-3:30 p.m. Parents should plan to pick up their scholars by 3:30 p.m. Please follow these guidelines for a safe and efficient pick up:

• Pull up to the furthest cone possible.
• If you need to buckle your child, pull forward and off to the side.
• Eyes up, phone down please!
• Show citizenship, patience, and courtesy to other parents & drivers- YOU are setting an example for all of our scholars.

IMPORTANT NOTICE- Student Pick-up Time Limit

After school, scholars should be picked up by 3:30 p.m. (We realize the first week of school will take longer)

Scholars who are still on campus after 3:30 (and parents are not actively waiting in driveline) will be walked to Hero Club and charged a $20 non-registration fee plus $2/minute past 3:30 p.m.

If you know you will frequently arrive later than 3:15, please register your scholar for Hero Club.
