UPDATE - Dismissal was on time! Thank you, Springdale Fire Department and Heritage Hill Staff!

March 26, 2026

The students and staff at Heritage Hill Elementary School were evacuated from the building after smoke was detected in the Boiler Room. The Springdale Fire Department is on site and has determined that the smoke was caused by a power surge, which made the boiler work harder than normal. There was no fire, only smoke. 

All students and staff are safe and accounted for, and there were no injuries. The fire department concluded the investigation and gave the all-clear for students and staff to return to the building at 3:42 PM. 

Dismissal may be slightly delayed. Thank you for your patience and cooperation, as we keep our school community safe.

Sincerely,

Erika Zeleta Lastra

Principal of Heritage Hill Elementary
