Families that are attending tomorrow's Palentines lunch and have prepaid, please check you child's folder for your ID/ticket
It is so good to be back in school!! The students have done an amazing job with coming back and getting into their school routine.
We just wanted to send out a few friendly reminders as the next two days will be very busy at Heartland.
1. All visitors that come to the school must present ID and state the reason for their visit then they buzz in at the camera entry. We ID all visitors at all times as a safety practice and to ensure we are following state safety laws. Please know that if you can not present ID you may not be allowed in the building and someone will have to meet you at the door.
2. Kindness parties are this Friday. Your child's teacher has sent home information regarding each classes' parties. PLEASE NOTE- that we do not accept any flower or balloon deliveries. These items are not permitted on buses and our office is not equipped to hold these items. If you have items you are sending in for the party, feel free to send those in with your student.
3. FAMILY FEAST/PALentines lunch for kindergarten, third grade and Mrs. Ellis' class will be this Friday. To save you time, please make sure you have had your ID scanned prior to Friday and make sure you prepay/RSVP for the lunch.

We had a great first day back. It was so awesome to see all of our students !!
Just a reminder that NTI packets for DAYS 3, 4, 5 are due back to school. We will not accept any more after tomorrow. This is so we can turn in our attendance data to the district.
NTI packets for DAYS 6, 7 and 8 are due by Friday, February 20. If you need packets for days 6-10, please let your child's teacher know.
If you need to get coffee or breakfast and need your class covered please text me or call the office.
2 hour delay means buses will run 2 hours later than usual. Students will need to be in their classroom by 9:30 AM
NTI packets for days 3 4 and 5 are due back tomorrow Monday, February 9th.
We can't wait to see our awesome students back tomorrow.
Family Feast for kindergarten, third grade and Mrs. Ellis' class will be this Friday. Papers were sent home before all the snow. Please return forms to RSVP and pay in advance.
We WILL be in school on a 2 hour delay tomorrow. Staff are expected to arrive and sign in at your regular time.
Travelin Tom's will be at school around 9 AM for you to purchase with breakfast provided by the admin team.
If you need additional time or will need to be late please text or email just so we don't worry about you.
Doors will be open for us to accept students. We will need some assistants to help supervise once students arrive. Please bring games/cards/puzzles for students to play. We will not use any computers as they have been on them a lot the past 16 days.
I look forward to seeing everyone back refocused, refueled and ready to move Heartland 4ward !
We announced this yesterday but just wanted to send a reminder. There is NO SCHOOL on Friday, February 6, 2026.
This is just a reminder that tomorrow will be a regular snow day for Hardin County Schools. No NTI tomorrow, Friday, February 6th.
We are really hoping to see everyone On Monday.
Remember, NTI packets for DAYS 3, 4 and 5 are due when we return. Students will receive a treat for turning them in Monday.
Have a great weekend.
NTI Library Activity Day 8: Make a bookmark! See ideas on this site--https://www.easypeasyandfun.com/corner-bookmarks-ideas/
Hey Heartland- are you up for challenge?!
In hopes that tomorrow is our LAST NTI day, we thought we would challenge students with an attendance challenge. Here are the details!
1. Mrs. Heath will be live tomorrow at 8AM for her meet. You can access the meet with hesheath as the code. You will want to attend this as we have a surprise guest that will make an appearance at the end of Mrs, Heath's lesson.
2. While we know it can be difficult for students to attend their google meet, we do hope and want everyone to attend. Therefore, all students that attend their grade level google meet tomorrow for the whole time, will receive 25 extra points that will be added to their points to spend at the Bulldog Store. Preschool students will get to have a special snack with admin when we return to school.
3. All students should have already had packets for day 3, 4 and 5, therefore, all students that return DAYS 3, 4 and 5 packets on Monday (we hope) will receive an additional reward.
Let's make what we HOPE is our LAST NTI day count!
We hope to see everyone tomorrow.
Principals had a google meet today and were asked to do an attendance challenge for what we hope is our last NTI day. Some schools are doing pizza parties for those that return packets upon returning. HES admin team didn't think that would be "fair" since not all students have had a chance to get a packet AND that would be time we would be taking from instruction. Here is what we hope to do tomorrow. I wanted to send it to you first before we post it to parents.
1. For the 8AM meet, we plan on having a special guest appearance at the end of Mrs. Heath's lesson.
2. Those students that show up on your meet tomorrow will receive 25 attendance points to put towards their bulldog store balance. While we know not everyone will be able to get on a meet, we felt like this would be a little more reasonable. After each meet you should get a report of students that attended your meet, you will forward that to Mr. Mitchell and he will add the points for the students who attended your meet.
If you want to add to the "reward" feel free to do so, it is not required.
Hopefully this will be our last NTI day and we can really "play" it up.
