Winter Weather Information
1. A text message via Parent Alert will be sent out to inform of a school closure or delay. If you provided your cell phone information to the school, you should receive these messages.
2. When checking for closures/delays on local media, please look specifically for information on Heritage Christian School. While our decisions are often the same as Iowa City School District and Clear Creek Amana, they are not ALWAYS the same.
3. Decisions to delay or cancel will be made no later than 6:30 AM. If it is determined that a late start is necessary, please continue to watch the news. If weather conditions do not improve, school will be cancelled by 8:30 AM.
4. In the event of early dismissal due to weather or other emergency, parents will be notified through a text message via Parent Alert.
5. Please make attendance decisions you are comfortable with. If you are concerned about traveling when driving conditions are poor or it is brutally cold, please make personal decisions accordingly.
6. With a delayed start, we always do a 90 minute delay so please arrive between 9:30-9:40am. Classes will begin at 9:45am.
7. When driving conditions are poor and school IS in session, we will not count students tardy allowing parents necessary travel time.
8. Heritage Christian School does not normally close for cold temperatures.
9. Please check KCRG, KGAN, KWWL, local radio AM 800 and the Heritage Christian School Facebook page for inclement weather information.
