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. If school must be canceled due to an emergency other than weather, an email will be sent out to all custodial parents. Heritage does not generally close school early in inclement weather; however, if parents wish to pick up their children before the end of the school day, it is their prerogative; advance notice to the office is not necessary. Emergency Action Plan HCA has a School Safety Plan for unexpected emergency situations. The faculty has been instructed in how to handle any such cases. If you would like to review those plans, please see the Principal. Fire, Tornado and other Emergency Drills Emergency drills are done periodically during the school year, to develop safety practices to enable students to move quickly and with order in case of an emergency. Evacuation routes are posted in each room. Visitors on Campus While school is in session, the main entrance doors will be locked between the hours of 8:35 AM and 2:45 PM. All visitors – including parents – must be buzzed in via the intercom system (to the right of the main doors), show ID and check in using the iPad. We also request all visitors wear a visitor tag in a visible place while on campus. Should parents wish to visit a class, they should contact the Principal ahead of time to schedule a time that will not interrupt the learning process. Friends of students are not permitted on campus during the school day unless prior permission has been secured from the Principal.
