ATTENTION DAILY PARENT PICK-UP FAMILIES
Dear Families,
1.) Students who are scheduled to be parent pick-up daily will receive two orange car tags today, 8/17/18. The school will only issue two orange car tags per family.
2.) Beginning Monday, 8/20/18, all vehicles that arrive in the parent pick-up line MUST have a school-issued orange car tag visible in the vehicle dashboard. If you park your car and walk up to the building to pick-up your student, you must have the orange tag with you.
3.) If a vehicle arrives without the orange car tag, the student will not be released. Parents/guardians will be asked to park and go to the office to show proper photo identification.
4.) Orange car tags are being issued only to those students who are parent pick-up on a daily basis.
If you have any questions please contact Heritage office (614) 833-6385.
Thank you,
Mr. Rice
Principal

Weekend Food Program
Violet Baptist Church
This program was created to help those families in need of meals for their children over the weekend. This is a wonderful program that helps those families in need within the PLSD.
What it is:
Food provided per student for 3 meals a day over Saturday and Sunday.
The food will be dropped off at the school office on Fridays.
The appropriate student will be notified and will come to retrieve their food bag.
We follow the school calendar & inclement weather schedule. No deliveries on Friday if no school. If we do know of a long weekend, we can arrange to drop for 3 days worth of meals. We have been approached by Mid Ohio Food Bank and have partnered with them to grow this program. Violet Baptist Church has volunteered to host the program and recruit volunteers from the community to join at VBC weekly to pack the food and distribute to the appropriate schools. Again, HOPE does not know whom the recipients are in order to keep strict confidentiality. If there is a food allergy we do identify that up front.
We keep strict guidelines on safety at the elementary levels for food prep. No food that needs a can opener, heat or microwave for little hands and safety. This changes for the upper levels. Also, we keep records for food safety and handling according to the standards set by the FDA and have completed training for such at Mid Ohio.
Lastly, this is no strings attached. Absolutely FREE for the student. If a household has more than one student, each student would receive a bag of food.
Please contact Marieca Mattox, School Counselor at Heritage Elementary School, if you are interested in this program or would like to learn more about it.

Drop Off Map
Heritage Elementary School
Morning Parent Drop Off
9:00 a.m. to 9:15 a.m.
1. Any child being dropped off in a car will need to take Northern Avenue to Lakeview Drive and turn right onto the school grounds. Students will be dropped off on the playground. Please note: Law enforcement is requesting parents to utilize North Center Street and enter the school from the north side of either East Street or Lakeview Drive.
2. Please be courteous to the cars around you and make sure that when you pull onto the school grounds your student is ready to get out of the car in order to keep the line moving. If your student exits your car on the passenger side, please allow them to cross in front of your car before you move to ensure their safety.
3. We ask that cars remain in a single file line and do not pass the car in front of them. Exit onto East Street will be right turn only.
4. Busses will be dropping students off in front of the school. Reminder: State law states that when a bus has its red lights flashing and the “Stop” sign out, cars cannot pass the bus in either direction.
Late Arrivals:
Any student arriving after 9:15 will need to be walked into the building and signed in by an adult. You will need to use the front entrance for late arrivals.
Afternoon Pick-Up:
During Pick-Up, busses will pick up students from the playground and parents can pick up students on North East Street in front of the main office/cafeteria.
