The School Smiles dentist is returning to our school on May 13th for dental cleanings. If you missed the dentist’s first visit, there is still time to get your student signed up for our upcoming visit! Please visit https://schoolsmiles.com/student-signup/ to sign-up today! A new form needs completed each school year to remain in the program, but if you have already completed a form for the 2024-25 school year, you do not need to sign-up again. School Smiles accepts Medicaid, private insurance, and offers self-pay rates for those who may be uninsured.

Happy End of the Year!!!!

This is your friendly reminder to check your student's lunch accounts and make sure they are covered through the end of the year. Any funds in their account will carry over into the next school year! We will be stopping our A la Carte sales on May 21st.

Check out the Linq App for easy access to your student's accounts: https://linqconnect.com/main

We are gearing up for Field trips this month!! If you get a school lunch for your fieldtrip, you won't be disappointed! We pack a Warm Chicken Sandwich, special treats and Chips!! Yum!!

Watch your school menu on https://mcsin-k12.nutrislice.com/menu/heritage-intermediate-school for special Lunch Days in May!

Happy Memorial Day and have a great summer Heritage Knights!! See you next year!!

We will be celebrating a wonderful and successful school year with a fun-filled Field Day on Wednesday, May 28th and we would like as much parent help as possible.

Parent volunteers are needed to help the day run smoothly. You can choose to help in the morning session, afternoon session, or all day. Staff members will be organizing and leading the stations. We request that you do not just come to watch Field Day, as there will be so much activity and running around. If you want to attend, we would be more than happy to assign you to a station to help out. Sign-ups will be sent home with your child in the next few days.

Thank you,

Mr. Miller PE Teacher
