Default Can I heat press my numbers after I screen print the front

I was just wondering if i can screen print my logo, since my numbers haven't arrived yet, then heat press the numbers after the screen pressing is done? Or will my screen press logo melt away?

We always print the logo before numbering. Works fine.

Yes you can, I would suggest trying to match the ink color as best as possible unless of course they are supposed to be different. When you do press the numbers, I would also place a sheet of blank screen printing transfer paper over the entire image. If the transfers are screen printed, this will also give your screen printed look the same as your numbers, keeping it more consistent.
