Elementary Family Lunch Friday, October 14th
Elementary parents and students, come eat together next Friday! Bring your lunch and meet in the Elementary Commons at noon.
Reporting Absences
With flu season upon us, please remember:
When an unexpected absence must occur, the parent is asked to notify the school office and the instructor of the students’ absence as quickly as possible, preferably before the involved class occurs. This contact may occur by phone or by email. When a student is absent due to ill health, past-due assignments must be submitted within two course periods after the student’s return to school in order to avoid penalty.

Being a Lunch Monitor is Cool. Seriously.
Interested in helping, but not sure where? We need Lunch Monitors for 7-12 graders on Friday afternoons, 12:15-12:45pm, and also as a sub other days (M-W-or F) so that Mrs. King can meet with various class officers and clubs. It's a fun job that allows for some time to observe and interact with our fantastic students. Call the office at 573-449-2252 to volunteer!
Box Top Competition
The competition is going strong! Last day to bring them in is October 14th.
Girls Soccer Registration Discount
Girls interested in playing soccer can register now and receive a $30 discount if they register by October 14th. Register on the Spring 2017 registration form which will be given at tonight's Fellowship.

Old School Values, New School Schedule
Heritage Academy is a University-Model School ®, facilitating students' access to excellent education, increased time with family, and opportunities for growth toward maturity while providing a cost-effective, college-preparatory education. In an age where family life is becoming increasingly fragmented, the unique structure of the model also serves to “turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers ” (Malachi 4:6).
