We soaked up the sunshine this past week! It was wonderful being back together and finding our rhythm for Term 3. As much as I hate to say it, I know that these last few weeks of school are going to fly by!
Please take a moment to catch up on a few date changes and announcements listed below.

NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY, APRIL 8
Please note that HCA will NOT hold classes on Monday, April 8 because our area is in the path of near totality for the upcoming solar eclipse, which will peak just after 3pm. Area schools are also cancelling classes and this is all per the recommendation of the Department of Homeland Security. Classes will resume as normal on 10/9.
APRIL 12+13: LIVING BOOKS HOMESCHOOL CONFERENCE!
We hope that you're planning to attend Awaken South Bend on April 12-13! This is an AMAZING opportunity to hear from all three ladies at A Delectable Education, as well as myself and Michelle Howard, founder of the Preservation Library movement (and a dynamic speaker!). Through April 1, they're offering a discount code to HCA attendees (AWAKENSB10).
To learn more and purchase tickets, please see the conference website:
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES
Please take a moment to sign up for our last session of Parent/Teacher Conferences!
On April 3 + 4, students will have a half day and will be dismissed at 12pm (they will NOT eat lunch at school). As before, you'll have a 15-minute time slot with your child's teacher, and you can sign up at the link below!
NEW EXAM DATES FOR TERM 3
We have decided to push UP exams for Term 3 in order to give us a few more days as a buffer at the end of the year for projects, presentations, a Service Day and end of year activities.
Please disregard the dates as listed on the printable school calendar on our website. The live calendar is correct - and the NEW dates for exams will be May 6-14.
NEW HOURS AT HERITAGE MEETING HOUSE
You may have already seen the updates on our social media platforms, but as of this past week, HMH is now closed Sunday-Tuesdays, so our current hours of operation are Wednesday-Saturday from 8am-4pm. Although we are closed to the public, you may still order school lunches on Mondays and Tuesdays!
