Hope to see you there!

Playdates for Incoming Kindergarteners!


If you have a child who is entering kindergarten this year, please bring your child to join his/her class for a playground playdate! It is a great time to meet other kids and their families who will be in your child’s Kindergarten class this year. Below is a schedule for the incoming Kindergarten playdates:

Ms. Walker’s PM class - Friday, Aug 16th, 6-7 p.m.
Ms. Walker’s AM class - Saturday, Aug 17th, 9-10 a.m.
Mrs. Fordonski’s AM class – Saturday, Aug 17th, 10-11 a.m.

This year all three times will meet at the kindergarten playground on the west side of the school (the one that can be seen from Heartland Drive). If it rains the event will move to the Heartland Gym.

First Day Coffee & Conversation


Coffee & Conversation on Wednesday, Aug. 21, 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. After dropping off your kids on the first day, come and join other Heartland parents for coffee and pastries in the gym. It’s a great way to meet new parents and to reconnect with old friends.
