This school year is an important year for Heritage School. In March of 2017, AdvancED will conduct our five (5) year accreditation review. This review will help remind Heritage School of the things that we do best and will also help us understand areas where improvement may be a good option.
Parent completion of an AdvancED survey is a requirement for our continuing accreditation. The Parent Survey is created solely by AdvancED. Because AdvancED works with literally thousands of public and private schools, it is difficult for the survey to be personally fitted for Heritage School. Heritage School cannot provide input into the content or type of questions.
However, we would like to provide a few pointers:
- This is an online survey.
- Not all of the questions apply to Heritage School. If a question does not apply just check “Not Applicable”
- Some of the terminology that AdvancED uses in the survey is different than that which we use. Here are a few examples of terms in the survey that are different at our school:
Survey Heritage
Purpose Statement Mission Statement
Governing Body Board of Trustees
Stakeholders Parents/Guardians/Donors
We value your opinion. Be assured that your responses to this survey will be anonymous and go ONLY to AdvancED. Your honest opinion is appreciated.
Please take about 10 minutes to complete the survey by clicking on this web link:

Thank you for your support for, and dedication to, Heritage School.

2nd Grade--visiting the Concepcion and San Jose Missions on Friday to see what like was like for the Indians living in a mission in the 1700's
3rd Grade--gearing up for our Thanksgiving Feast, with special guest Mrs. Rogers, who will grind wheat for us for our homemade bread
4th Grade--Each student has chosen a southern state to study and present to the class on Tuesday. Each presentation will be accompanied by a food from that state - yum!!!

The Grammar School has enjoyed this playhouse for several years now; however, it is now time to find it a new home. We would love to donate it to a Heritage family who would enjoy it. If interested, please contact Mrs. Richburg: tammy.richburg@heritage-school.net.

April Klepac Resigns
Heritage School is saddened to communicate that April Klepac, our School Secretary, has tendered her resignation effective the end of January, 2017. Fortunately for Heritage, April has graciously offered to assist in identifying and training a replacement for her position. April has been the “face” of Heritage in the front office for 2 years this January, and she will be deeply missed.
April and Jimmy Klepac have been a part of the Heritage family since 2009 having had 2 Heritage graduates, Leighton and Avery, as well as a Heritage junior, Harleigh, and daughter, Tatum, in 8th grade at FMS. Even though April will be stepping down from her position at Heritage, the Klepac family will always continue to be a major part of our family.
Pray with us as we seek an individual with the skills, patience, and enthusiasm to qualify for the position of Secretary, Heritage School.
For more information about the position, contact Cherilynn Eggleston, Assistant Head of School, at ceggleston@austin.rr.com or call the school at 830-997-6597 ext. 226.
