We are excited to reveal the Elementary IXL Tournament of Champions! This is an opportunity to encourage your students to participate consistently in IXL at home and at school, especially through November - March. Our school can have a schoolwide goal of answering a total of 1,000,000 IXL questions for the year and receiving a banner. Heritage also has the chance to become the district IXL champions!.
So, let's get pumped! This friendly competition begins November 1st. (*Please note the size of student enrollment will not matter because the scores will be derived from determining the average number of questions answered per student each month.)

♥️Heritage families -
Thank you for making this fundraiser a priority on top of the challenges we are facing in so many ways. We hope your kids enjoyed the Glow Run during their P.E. time! Thank you to Mr. Glenn and Mr. T for carrying the torch for this tradition!
Thank you to our incredible sponsors who came out in full force with their commitments to cover 800 t-shirts for all students and staff, prizes over a three week period and other underlined expenses during our campaign. We appreciate you!
And last but never least, I want to say thank you to our PTO board of officers and our volunteers who gave up their limited free time to deliver prizes, design every piece of digital material, collect and enter our funds, secure sponsors, and set up our Glow Run for our students! Your love for our school is unparalleled and I personally thank you all.
Let’s continue this semester with the same momentum and charisma and finish strong!
Sincerely,
Stephanie Coy

💡ℹ️ More Important Info ℹ️💡

📚💻“Change in Placement” Second Semester Enrollment Window Open
School sites will send all families a Google “Change in Placement” form. The form will also be available on school websites. Only those families desiring a change in placement are to complete the request; those not submitting a new form will continue with their current placement. Once the form is completed, school sites will confirm the student’s placement with families. Virtual Edmond is a program designed to serve families who desire:
- A customized, robust, virtual education.
- The best of a traditional educational experience, coupled with the flexibility of an online program that can be accessed from anywhere at any time.
- A program that aligns with Oklahoma Academic Standards and offers a self-paced education option.
- The ability for middle and high school students to participate in on-site extracurricular activities with their peers.
Edmond students in grades 6-12 use the APEX curriculum, with lessons overseen by a highly qualified, certified Edmond teacher.
New for the second semester is a change in curriculum for K-5th grade students. Instead of using lessons from an outside vendor, students in these grades will now use curriculum created and taught by Edmond teachers and district content specialists! The lessons will be posted to Canvas. One of the many advantages of this change is that our younger students will be working on the same lessons at the same time as their peers who are enrolled in face-to-face instruction.
It’s vital to understand that once the November 20 deadline passes, students must:
- Remain in their chosen program for the entire second semester.
- Understand that they will not have the ability to transfer between VE and face to face instruction even if the district returns to in-person learning five days a week.
