Dear Heritage Academy Families,
We want to give you an update regarding our furnace maintenance and repair. We had planned maintenance and replaced 2 major parts over Thanksgiving break. We expected the boiler to heat the school building to its normal temperature by this morning. As of last night, the building temperature was gradually rising and close to 60 degrees. By 5 am, the temperature had decreased, and we thought it was due to the cold weather. When our furnace maintenance company investigated further, they found that the new parts solved the initial problem but uncovered a crack that needs to be welded closed. In order for the boiler to run smoothly and heat our building, we will need to have a specially trained welder complete the repair while the boiler is turned off. We have contacted the welder and expect the repair to happen later in the week. That should put us on track to reopen on Monday December 5th.
We know that school closures create frustration and hardship for families, and we apologize for the unexpected closure. We always try to complete maintenance during school breaks and did not expect this to carry over into the school week.
For our middle school students, teachers will be providing instruction on Google classroom. Please have your students check their emails and Google classrooms for more information. For elementary students, teachers will be sending suggested activities to help them practice reading, writing, and math skills.
We will miss seeing our students in person this week. We do have food backpacks available and encourage you to contact your child's teacher if you are in need of assistance during the week.
We look forward to seeing you on Monday, December 5th.
Sincerely,
Heritage Academy Staff
Good Morning,
Due to boiler maintenance that was completed over Thanksgiving break, our building was in the process of reheating. Last night's weather slowed that process down and the building is currently only at 53 degrees. We are canceling classes today and will look forward to seeing students tomorrow.
We apologize for the late notice and inconvenience this causes for you.
Sincerely,
Heritage Academy Staff

If you ordered photos but wish but to have the photo retaken please contact the office to let us know. We will add them to the list and the new prints will be sent to you.

Exciting day for Heritage Academy!!!
Heritage Board members signed papers to purchase the Believers Church building! We are beyond excited to open the Falcon Community Center - serving the families of Jerome, Idaho!
1st grade P.E, we got new parachutes!
Help Wanted!!! You may have noticed some large wooden spools and crates in our back field! Well….Heritage Academy has developed a wonderful partnership with Solv Energy. They have not only donated an abundance of wood products, but they have also volunteered their time and talent to turn those materials into an outdoor theater stage AND a greenhouse for our students to thrive! Before Solv Energy can begin their build we need help to disassemble some crates. We are reaching out in hopes our Heritage Families can come together this Wednesday Sept. 7th from 6-8pm to help take apart the crates and stack the wood. Helpful items to bring if you have them- electric screwdrivers and work gloves. We will provide the refreshments!
No school on Monday, September 5th. Have a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend!
Look at these beautiful rolls today 🙌🏼
The burger bar yesterday!
