DE PERE, WI (WTAQ) - Students at Heritage Elementary School in De Pere are going home early Thursday due to a problem with the building's heating system.

School officials announced around 8:40 a.m. that classes would be canceled for the rest of the day. Officials say there's a maintenance issue with the HVAC system.

Parents can pick up their children at De Pere Middle School, 700 Swan Road. If parents are unable to pick up their kids until this afternoon, supervision will be provided at De Pere Middle School and normal pickup procedures will be followed at the regular dismissal time for the middle school.

Parents may call the middle school at 337-1024 to make arrangements.

Of course there is more to this than was reported.  Maintenance staff called the Director of Buildings and Ground Wednesday night reporting a high odor of gas smell.  He responded that he'd look into it Thursday morning.
