Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

Heritage Elementary School Arrival/Dismissal Procedures

Morning Drop-Off:

  • If you have a child in Kindergarten, first, second, or third-grade, you will drop your child off at the Blumhoff Ave. office. The office formally known as Heritage Primary Office is now the Heritage Main Office.
  • If you have a child in fourth or fifth-grade, you will drop off at Academy Gym on Academy Drive.
  • If you have more than one child in each of these grade levels, you will utilize the drop off point of the youngest child. For example, If you have a first grader and a fourth grader, you will drop off both students at the Main Office on Blumhoff Ave

Afternoon Pick-Up:

  • All students who are car riders will go to the Blumhoff Gym (previously known as the K-2 gym). There will only be one car rider line. Don't forget to fill out the car rider registration if you haven't already. You can find the link below in this newsletter.

PK Students:

  • If you have a Heritage Elementary student and a PK student attending Heritage Early Childhood, you will drop-off or pick-up the Heritage Elementary student first, then follow the car line to pick up your child at the Early Childhood Center.

Walkers  Heritage staff are stationed at designated crosswalks starting at 8:05 am.  Students should not arrive prior to 8:05 am or attempt to cross any street without a crossing guard present.  If you meet your walker, please wait outside the appropriate doors to retrieve your child.  You may then proceed to the crosswalk.  If you have designated your student to be a walker, they will be expected to enter and exit the building at the appropriate doors and considered to be living close enough to walk to and from home.  

Bus Riders  Buses will load and unload in the rear of the school buildings.

Chautauqua   Families who need to drop off earlier than 8:05 am (or 10:05 am on late start days) or pick up later than 3:20 pm may enroll their students in our Chautauqua before/after school program.  Parents and students may access this program through the Blue Cafe doors (Door #2) beginning at 6:00 am for early arrivals and until 6:00 pm in the evening.  For more information about the Chautauqua program, please click here or you can call 636-327-5090 with additional questions.

Any changes to a student’s regular mode of transportation will need a written note to the teacher and/or a parent phone call to the school office before 2 pm.  This procedure will ensure enough time to communicate the change to the classroom teacher.   Thank you for your cooperation in following our student arrival and dismissal procedures.  You may contact the Intermediate office at 636-327-3839 if you have any questions or concerns.
