Welcome back from Spring Break!!

We're in the home stretch and I can't believe how fast this year has gone!!!

We've missed seeing your students and can't wait to finish out the year strong!

Please note several new updates for these upcoming weeks!!

Enjoy these last few hours of break and see you soon! -Mrs. Rea

READ-A-THON

We are raising money for new library book shleves!!! Having too many books is always SUCH a wonderful problem! We have a goal of $1500 and we're already well on the way!!! Many of you were reading over Spring Break!!! Our Read-A-Thon will end on 3/26 and 3/27 - so keep going!

Please see BAND for information and the needed links to regsiter for HCA's Read-A-Thon!!

If you need any assistance registering, reach out to Miss Maddi on BAND.

24/25 BOOK FEES

Please note that if you haven't submitted the 24/25 Book Fees (originally assessed in September, 2024), that that amount will be added on to April's monthly payment. If you paid in full (and don't receive monthly invoices) you'll be getting an invoice reminder. ALL BOOK FEES ARE DUE BY MAY 1. Any questions - please email the office! (office@heritagechristianacademy.net)

25/26 INVOICES + FORMS

Paperwork and invoices are being sent out in the order that they were submitted! Please note that your 25/26 forms will be added to your CURRENT family portal. If you need that link resent to you, please contact Mrs. Kesler (l.kesler@heritagechristianacademy.net).

Please note, your forms will be active ONLY AFTER you have received the 25/26 invoice. Until that arrives via email, those forms will not appear.

ILLNESSES

Sadly, there are multiple strains of illnesses going around and we have been both short staffed and missing many of our students. PLEASE use extreme caution when sending your child to school if they aren't feeling well, keeping in mind that we have many large famillies, and sicknesses spread quickly between siblings. We want to be courteous and take every possible measure to contain these nasty bugs! Please refer to the handbook (in your Family Portal App) for our thresholds on fevers and sickness.

25/26 ENROLLMENT IS NOW OPEN!

The link to re-enroll at HCA for next year is now live in the Family Band and on our website!

We have almost finished processing applications, so if you have not received an enrollment email from us by the end of the week, please reach out! In several weeks, we will then open up any available spots to the general public.

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.

THANK YOU for your generosity diring our Christmas Chapel! We were able to raise $687 for Samaritan's Purse!

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.
