Heritage Elementary Staff and Families, This morning we had emergency vehicles visit our campus during arrival in response to an individual employee medical issue. While we cannot share individual employee information, emergency personnel were able to assist. I just wanted to make you aware in case you or your student saw the emergency response to our campus and had questions or concerns. Thank you. Sincerely, Jill Hemme Principal Heritage Elementary School
