Our Student Leaders met with our Superintendent, Mr. Rolando Ramirez, and Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Miguel Castillo. The students love sharing how the students in their classes are doing and hearing about District initiatives. But we think Mr. Ramirez and Mr. Castillo enjoy it even more based on what Mr. Ramirez shared afterwards, “It is the highlight of our day to visit the student leaders!”

The student of the week for Heritage is Kylynn Martinez. Although shy, she becomes talkative when given the time to know someone. In fact, Kylynn becomes down right adventurous. She is very involved in sports with her favorites being a toss up between basketball and volleyball. This semester, she participated in intramural soccer and volleyball. At home, she loves to swim and ride atv’s. Kylynn also enjoys playing Roblox, reading, and being a big sister to her two little brothers.
Today we celebrate our amazing custodial team at Heritage Elementary! Head Custodian Felix, morning custodian Elva, and mid-day custodians Lorena and Jacob go above and beyond every single day. From handling unexpected surprises (even snakes!), ensuring student safety, and taking care of countless essential campus needs, they keep our school running smoothly and shining bright.
No matter the task, big or small, this team tackles it with dedication, flexibility, and always with a smile. Their hard work creates a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where students can learn, teachers can teach, and our entire school community can thrive.
We are so thankful for Felix, Elva, Lorena, and Jacob for the countless ways they support Heritage. Your pride in your work and your kindness to others make a difference every single day!

A group of 5th grade students went on a 3-day/2-night field trip to Bamberger Park. This was such an exciting time for them; hands on learning, fun with friends, and even a bit of the Northern Lights!
