INCLEMENT WEATHER
Heritage Academy will often follow the judgment of Columbia Public Schools regarding wintry weather and the possibility of a school-day closing. However, Heritage Academy’s final response related to wintry weather will be made independently from the public schools.
Please know that a decision will be made as early as feasible and safe, as every storm is unique. A decision will be made the night before when possible or the morning of by 6:30am. Any school-day cancellation OR delayed start notification will be posted to Heritage Academy’s website, Facebook page, and local news channels. We will also use REMIND (you can still sign up!), which will alert you of changes in school hours via text or email as you choose when you sign up.
