Words are the building blocks of communication. Comprehension vastly improves when a reader knows the meaning of the words on the page; and the main goal of reading is comprehension. For all students, English natives and ESL, a strong vocabulary benefits learning activities: reading, speaking, and listening. It boils down to the fact that the more words a child knows, the better their comprehension can become.
Transitioning into middle school is a big change for students and parents. It requires more adept time management skills, independent responsibility, and a tougher course load.

“Imagination is not a talent of some men, but it is the health of every man.”

Heritage Elementary Schools, in Glendale and Williams, have had their charters renewed by the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools for another fifteen years. We look forward to continuing to serve the children and families of Arizona. Heritage Elementary: building a strong foundation for every child.
Arizonans are typically familiar with their environment—both the dangers and the wonders—though sometimes residents can be so comfortable in their desert home that they can forget or overlook the little behaviors and habits, which can prove to be real lifesavers.
Help your child get the best academic foundation possible with full-day kindergarten, including our free breakfast program and free before- and after-school care. Heritage Elementary School is now enrolling students for the 2016-2017 school year, kindergarten through eighth grade.
At Heritage Elementary School, we are committed to providing a state-of-the-art education that teaches your children academic, community, and family values. Don’t miss out on the opportunity for educational excellence in Williams this upcoming school year.
While summertime might be considered the “off-season” for some who call Arizona home, not all the state’s residents move with the seasons. And, as the temperatures rise, so do the opportunities for some cherished family time.
The last day of school (May 20) is fast approaching, for that reason we wanted to make everyone aware of the amazing opportunities we have planned for the summer.
