Heard County Elementary School

Dear HCES Families,

We are excited to honor and celebrate our veterans at HCES on Wednesday, November 11th!

If you or a loved one is a veteran and has a student attending or staff member who works at HCES, we would love for you to join us for this special celebration as we recognize the brave men and women who have served our country.

Please be on the lookout for a flyer coming home with your child after Fall Break. If you plan to attend, please complete and return the RSVP portion of the flyer so we can prepare for this special event.

We look forward to celebrating our veterans and thanking them for their service and sacrifice!

We love our Braves, and we are proud of our veterans!

Please see our October School Newsletter! We have lots of exciting things happening at HCES this month. Be sure to take a look so you don’t miss any important dates, events, and updates!

We are excited to get back to normal operations. We are going to have our PJ Day tomorrow with a $2 donation and then we will celebrate the 100th Day of School on Monday. We also wanted to let you know that there will NOT be any ice cream sales tomorrow because the delivery did not come in. Can't wait to see everyone in the morning!

Good morning, HCES Families! For those who can make it safely to the school, we will have meals ready to hand out between 9:30-12:30. Please come to the back of the school to pick up. You can text your order into Ms. Livia before you come at 706-302-0812. Please include your child's name and lunch number. If you did not text ahead of time, just come to the school and give your child's name and lunch number to receive the meals. Please drive carefully.

Attention morning car rider parents, after you drop your child off at the front, please do not turn left and go around the backside of the building. Our Brave Life students are being dropped off back there in the mornings. We do not need extra vehicles zooming around the backside of the building creating an unsafe situation. I do understand that traffic gets backed up, but we ask that you wait patiently in the line to ensure everyone exits safely. Thank you for helping with this situation. See you in the morning and Go Braves!
