Happy New Year! We are very excited to welcome back our students from the Winter Break. We would like to bring to your attention an important matter concerning ongoing construction activities in the vicinity of Heber School along 11th Street, Heffernan, and 14th Street. The safety and well-being of our students are of utmost priority, and we are reaching out to ensure that everyone remains vigilant and takes extra precautions during this period. Regular School For the regular school day, the drop off/pick up/walk-home will remain the same through the “Carline” on 11th Street. Heber School-ELOP For Heber School-ELOP, the student pick up will be moved from the “ASES Office” to the “Carline” on 11th Street Here are a few key points to consider: * Increased Traffic: With construction activities, there may be an increase in vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area. Please exercise caution while commuting to and from Heber School and be mindful of potential changes in traffic patterns. * Restricted Areas: Some areas may be cordoned off or restricted due to construction. * Awareness Talk: Have a conversation with your children about the potential hazards associated with construction sites and the importance of staying alert and following safety guidelines.
