The Heartbeat
what's happening at Heartland - Aug/Sept 2016
New Beginnings
Pick up and drop off
Afternoon pick up flow has not seen the type of congestion that our morning has, so we will not restrict lot access in the afternoon at this point. Please be patient with us and your fellow parents when picking up and dropping off. We have over 400 cars coming through in 10-15 minutes, so some wait time is to be expected.

locker woes
1. My locker will not close - We discovered that there are some improper fit issues with some of the lockers. The contractor will be coming back in to refit the doors that have gap issues. This will take place over the next couple of weeks, but we cannot guarantee when that will be complete. We believe that this issue affects somewhere between 30 and 70 of our students.
2. My locker will not lock - This is almost always an easy fix. When the lockers were initially installed, none of them locked. The correct locker number must be coded in before the locker will ever lock. When done correctly the first time, the locking mechanism itself will drop into a place where it can lock the locker. Here are a couple of helpful tips:
a. Ask a teacher to assist
b. Remember right-left-right. You get to the first number by moving the dial
clockwise. The second number must be passed one time before landing on it,
and you must move counter clockwise to reach it. The third number will identify
itself on its own, because the dial will stop as you are turning clockwise.
c. The third number as listed on the schedule is off by 4-5 digits. Subtract five
from your third number, and you will most likely find success.
