HCA Upper School Student/Parent Handbook 2025–2026

Injuries All serious accidents or injuries will be recorded by the teacher who was supervising when the injury occurred. In instances where a student needs medical attention, the school will attempt to contact a parent immediately, and if a parent is not available, their requested emergency contact person will be called. In the event the contact cannot be reached, the school will contact medical personnel if needed and will follow the instructions of such medical personnel. Medications The following guidelines apply to all medications, including aspirin and non-prescription medicine: 1.​ Students will only be allowed to take medications if we have written permission from the parent or guardian. This can be completed via the Student Health Forms in Blackbaud. 2.​ Any prescription medication the student requires must be turned in to the office. Written permission from the parent/guardian should accompany all medication. The parent permission form should identify the student, date permission given, and parent’s signature. 3.​ The container of medicine must be clearly marked with: a.​ Student’s name b.​ Contents (i.e., name of drug) c.​ Dosage d.​ Directions for dispensing 4.​ Students are not allowed to dispense any medication to one another. 5.​ The responsibility for seeing that medications are taken at the appropriate times rests with the parents and student, not school personnel. School Closings In inclement weather, classes will be canceled if the Blue Valley School District cancels classes. Tune to local television or radio stations for notification. In addition, the school closing will be posted on Blackbaud. Visitors Visitation requests for parents of prospective students should be made to the school office at least one day in advance of the visit. Upon arriving on campus, all visitors are required to check-in at the office. If advance notice is not provided, the request may be denied. Additionally, all visitors who intend to visit HCA’s campus to eat with a student/students must get permission from upper school administration, 24 hours notice is preferred. Additionally, they must check in with the front office and get a visitors pass for the allotted time of their visit. If the visitor would like to visit at a different time, or for longer than the allotted MS/HS lunch break, the visitor must seek permission for that as well. This applies to all non-HCA students, faculty and staff - including HCA Alumni and former students. Note: All Visitors are expected to dress modestly, in line with the school dress code.
