A Note from Mrs. DeGrand... 
​The 2022-2023 school year is near! I’m excited to be welcoming our 5th graders back to the building and to have our new group of 4th graders, and students new to the district, with us at Heritage! I will use this blog to keep you updated with all the Heritage Highlights. Please be on the lookout for weekly updates each Sunday at 9:00 am. Each blog entry will include the following sections:

• Note from Mrs. DeGrand
• On the Heritage Horizon (Save the Dates)
• School/District Notes
• Quick Links
• Tweets of the Week
• Did You Know?
• Heritage PTO

If a section contains new information it will be marked "(NEW!)".  I hope to keep you informed on the most pertinent information about what is happening here at Heritage, while recognizing that an alert to new information helps prioritize your weekly browsing. 

Our Heritage Family Handbook has lot of information to help shape a safe and productive learning environment for our students.  Throughout the next few months, our staff will be teaching classroom and school norms around this document.  Our goal is for all students to find safety, joy and room to confidently grow this year.  If that is not the case for your child, please reach out to me directly so we can meet.  I can be reached at degrandm@salineschools.org.

Happy August, 
​Megan DeGrand
