Introducing Angela Osheim - Third Grade Teacher
Hello! My name is Angela Osheim. I have taught in the Olathe school district for six years and this will be my fourth year in third grade. I am excited to join the Heritage family and I am looking forward to getting to know your staff and community. I have always had a passion for teaching and I pride myself on building relationships with students and families. I love to teach hands on lessons that will inspire and engage my students.
A little bit about me, I have a son (Adam) and daughter-in-law (Alyssa) who are about to buy their first home. I have a daughter (Abigail) who teaches 2nd grade and is getting married at the end of the year. My youngest daughter (Allison) just graduated with an Elementary Education degree from Emporia State. I love kayaking, hiking, camping, taking my grand puppies to the dog park and spending time with my family and friends.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family, we are going to have a great year!

- ·For the 2022-23 school year, families once again will pay full price for student breakfasts and lunches unless they apply and qualify for free-and-reduced meals through the district’s application process.
- The new, federal free and reduced application for 2022-23 will be available beginning July 6 within the Online Registration process. It will also be posted on the district website. Families must apply each year for free or reduced food service, transportation and student registration fees.
