Heron School

Heron is a TK-8 school in the Natomas Unified School District that serves over 1,000 diverse students, the Heron Flyers! Our STEAM instructional focus, engaging school culture, and high levels of parent engagement make Heron a joyful place for all students to learn. Each day begins with a Morning Meeting, which helps build positive classroom communities and ensures each student feels connected at school. Our instructional model provides many opportunities for students to collaborate and be actively engaged in their learning. Our teachers provide a high level of differentiation in order to meet the needs of our students, including our students who are identified as GATE, students with special needs, and English Learners. Our STEAM focus brings an emphasis to science, art, and technology, and our strong partnership with our families creates a thriving school community that works together to support all of our students.

MISSION STATEMENT: Heron TK-8 is a joyful place to learn. We care for our students and provide the support they need to achieve academic and personal growth. We engage with our community to provide a rigorous and nurturing learning environment where students learn to collaborate, communicate, and treat each other with kindness and respect.
