Selected Heritage High School Juniors and Seniors will assist elementary classroom teachers by teaching physical education, and will be given the opportunity to lead elementary students at multiple elementary schools. One month of instructional training has been given to each Heritage PEPI student prior to working with elementary students. Classroom instruction will contain training in communication skills, elementary physical education and interpersonal skills in working with students in grades K-5. The content and experiences provided through this course can assist in becoming a building block for a student who has high interest in working with young people.

We are thrilled to welcome Heritage High School students each week of this semester and look forward to an ongoing partnership! Our feeder high school, Rolesville HS, does not currently have a PEPI program. If you have a Rolesville HS student, please contact Principal Perry to let him know you think PEPI would be a great program to add!

Check out some photos below from classes with their PEPI leaders!

2022-23 School Year HCES Carpool Expectations

Please read the linked document in it's entirety if you have yet to do so.

Students May Not Be Dropped Off Until 8:45am

Please be reminded of the expectation that students may not be dropped off until 8:45am. Students may not line up at the front door unless a Harris Creek staff member is present and invites them to do so.

Carpool Efficiency Reminders

Please remember to pull forward as far as possible in both AM and PM carpool, have your student(s) open their own door, and put on your hazard lights if assistance is needed (AM). If needing to help your child get in the seat, please pull forward and into a parking space so that the line can keep moving. Thank you!

Please Display Carpool Number Tags Every Afternoon

In order to ensure an efficient carpool process, please remember to hang carpool number tags to display clearly from your vehicle's rearview mirror. Please reference the image below for proper placement. This is a critical step to ensure students leave their classrooms and come outside to the correct location on the sidewalk to be picked up. Thank you!
