ANNUAL FAMILY CHECK-IN PROCESS: The “Annual Family Check-In” is an update of your household information for back-to-school.  Parents must have an activated parent login to complete the “Annual Family Check-In,” which cannot be completed with the student or mobile portal. All students must have their primary parent/guardian complete the Check-In process by Friday, August 8th. This is an online process, and parents are encouraged to complete the process as soon as possible to avoid delays at the beginning of the school year. Please note: there are three steps to the HHS Annual Family Check-In:

• Step 1: Log on to your Parent Portal account on Infinite Campus. Click on the Annual Family Check-In link on the left menu bar, and click on the 2025-26 registry.

• Step 2: Return to the Infinite Campus and complete any previous year fee payments and add any optional fees for the 2025-2026 school year (Yearbook, PTO donations, etc). All seniors are required to pay the $25 graduation fee. Course and athletics fees will be added to student accounts in September after class and team rosters are finalized. 

• Step 3: Also on the Heritage website - please take a few minutes to submit the PTO Volunteer Form - the final step of the Check-In Process. There are many opportunities to help - everything from one-time to weekly, bi-weekly or monthly commitments.
