Happy Sunday HCA Families!
Just one more week of exams! Your students are doing SO well and have worked so hard!!
Exams will finish up this week, and then we'll conclude Term 1!
There are quite a few activities coming up this week and reminders for the holiday season, so please check out our update below!

25/26 ENROLLMENT!
It's that time of year! We are already planning out enrollment for next year, and as many of you will remember, we offer uncontested, priority enrollment to returning families every year on Back Friday!
This year, we will open up Priority Enrollment on Friday, 11/29. There will be a link posted that day in our Family Band.
Current HCA families will have 2 weeks to enroll for 25/26 before we open up enrollment to our Waiting List families (there are currently 80+ families on our waiting list!)
In January, we will then open up any available spots to the general public. There will be a longer announcement, fee schedule and calendar of dates posted in our Family Band this week!
The 25/26 enrollment information will be posted in our Family Band no later than Monday, 11/18.
CHRISTMAS CHAPEL
We'd like to invite you to celebrate Christmas with us on Wednesday, 12/18 and Thursday, 12/19 at 1pm for our Annual Christmas Chapel! Each class has prepared a special piece to shrae with us in chapel, so please mark your calendars! Please also note that 12/18 and 12/19 are early dismissal days (students will be dismissed for holiday break following the conclusion of chapel that day).
HOLIDAY BREAK
Please note that our Christmas Break begins immediately after Christmas Chapel on 12/18 and 12/19 and then students will return on Wednesday, 1/8 and Thursday, 1/9.
If your family is going to be absent for our Christmas Chapel (on December 18+19) PLEASE let their teacher know as soon as possible! Our teachers need to know if there are any planned absences for that day, so that they can plan the presentation accordingly.
CHAPEL OFFERING
Each year, HCA chooses a non-profit to partner with and we collect an offering during each chapel. The funds collected are then sent off to our chosen charity at the end of the year. This year, we are going to partner with Samaritan's Purse and raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. The comunities that were devastated by the hurricane will be rebuidling for years, so we will be talking about this charity all year long and will send in our final offering to them later this Spring.
SCHOOL LUNCHES
We’re thrilled to bring back school lunches this year! To order:
1. Head to the Parent Portal and click the lunch button,
2. Look under the “Parents” tab on our website, OR
3. Save this link - https://www.heritagechristianacademy.net/school-lunch
Don’t forget—orders can be placed up to 6 days in advance but need to be submitted by 9:15 am on the day your child needs lunch. If you miss the cutoff, HMH lunches are still available at full price.
If you have questions, just reach out to the office!
A YEAR OF PRAYER
In chapel, we’re focusing on prayer this year, and we’d love to know how we can pray for you. If you or your spouse are in full-time ministry or non-profit work, please let me know—we’d love to include you in our prayers. We’re also reaching out to local churches, so let us know if yours would like to connect. Feel free to email me at k.rea@heritagechristianacademy.net.
