Heard County Middle School

Update to Virtual Meal Pick-ups: We will be changing the location of the virtual meal pick-ups to Heard High School rather than Heard Middle School due to staffing concerns. You will be able to pick up your pre-ordered meals by driving around the back of the high school by the softball field. Please text 770-328-3095 with your children's names when you arrive. We will place the food on a table. Please wait for us to back away from the table before exiting your car to minimize the risk of potential exposure. Meal orders can be submitted using this form (https://form.jotform.com/203333665255050) up until midnight tonight in order to get a free lunch for tomorrow and breakfast for Wednesday morning. Menus can be viewed at Mealviewer.com - Heard Middle School but are subject to change. If you have any questions, you can email melissa.vannorden@heard.k12.ga.us

We are extending our deadline for virtual meal pick up to midnight the night before. So if you would like a free hot lunch for your child tomorrow and a breakfast for the next morning, please fill out this form https://form.jotform.com/203333665255050 by midnight tonight! We need these orders to make sure we prepare the correct amount of food for our virtual students. Check out Mealviewer.com to see what's on the menu!

Heard County School System will be closed for children on Thursday, September 17th. School will be closed due to an overabundance of caution after watching the 11:30 a.m. National Weather Service briefing. We have large concerns for the amount of rain forecasted for our area. Dirt roads and gravel roads will likely be washed out and make travel impossible in some areas.

Heard County has a new Powerschool Code for you to enter on the Powerschool app! When you open the PS app, please enter JWJQ. You must uninstall the current app and reinstall the app so it will work with the new code. The new Powerschool Student/Parent Url is https://heard.powerschool.com/public/home.html
