Welcome Back, Four Heroes Families!

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We are so excited to welcome our Top Dogs and their families back to Four Heroes for another wonderful year of learning, growth, and connection.

One of our favorite Four Heroes traditions is beginning the year with Family Connection Conferences. These conferences give us the opportunity to meet with families before the school year begins, learn more about your child, and hear directly from you about their strengths, needs, and what will help them have a successful year. We truly value our partnership with families and love having this time together to start the year!

Important Back-to-School Dates:

  • September 2–3: Family Connection Conferences for students in grades 1–5
  • Friday, September 4: First day of school for grades 1–5
  • September 2, 3, or 4: Family Connection Conferences for incoming Kindergarten students
  • Tuesday, September 8: First day of school for Kindergarten

A Few Arrival & Dismissal Reminders

Morning drop-off begins at 8:40 AM, and school begins promptly at 9:00 AM. Please remember that student drop-off is located at the back of our building. Students may not be dropped off through the front office.

Breakfast is free for all students! Students who would like breakfast will be directed to our breakfast area when they arrive.

As students enter the building, families will need to say goodbye at the door. We know that can feel especially hard during those first few days—sometimes for our grown-ups just as much as our students! Please know that our Four Heroes staff will be ready to warmly welcome your child and make sure they are safely escorted to their classroom or breakfast area. To maintain a safe and secure school environment for everyone, district procedures do not allow families to walk students to their classrooms. We appreciate your partnership and trust as we help our Top Dogs build confidence with their new school routine!

Afternoon pick-up begins at 3:30 PM, also at the back of our building. All students must be picked up by 3:45 PM.

We are looking forward to reconnecting with returning families, meeting those who are new to our community, and kicking off another fantastic year at Four Heroes. Thank you for your partnership and for trusting us with your amazing students. We can't wait to see you!

Here’s to a great year, Top Dogs!
