Process for School Closures and 1-hour Delayed Starts
In the event of inclement weather, Adams 12 Five Star Schools uses a variety of resources to determine if conditions exist that warrant a 1-hour delayed start or closure of schools.
If conditions pose a concern for student and staff safety, the district will make every effort to announce a decision by 5:30 a.m. to close or delay opening schools. A 1-hour delayed start or closure will be communicated in several different ways, including:
- District website
- School websites
- Local media outlets
- Email and text message to parents
- Ensure your information is up-to-date in Infinite Campus
- In order to receive text messages, opt-in today by texting “YES” to 67587
- District’s hotline (720) 972-4000
- Social media (Facebook - Twitter)
Keep in mind, you will only receive alerts if schools are closed or operating on a 1-hour delay. If schools are open and operating on a normal schedule you will not receive an alert.
If schools are open but a parent feels, based on personal circumstances, that conditions pose a safety concern for their child getting to or from school they can call the school for an excused absence.
