BASE SNOW DAY POLICY-
Snow Day/Severe Weather Procedures: Weather related schedule changes are provided to local television and radio stations. Only exceptions to normal school schedules are announced.
Check the Douglas County School District’s web site (www.dcsdk12.org ) or call our weather hotline at (303) 387-SNOW (7669). Any weather related schedule changes are posted by 5:00 a.m. Please watch for area delayed openings, closures, and early dismissals. If Douglas County School District is closed, ALL schools and B.A.S.E.programs in the District are closed due to severe weather.
Delayed Schedule: Unless otherwise notified, our schools that operate on a delayed schedule will start 90 MINUTES later than the normal start time. Our program is on a 90-minute delayed schedule in order to ensure that staff members arrive safely, children are adequately supervised, and Grounds personnel are able to clear parking lots and walkways in a timely manner. The B.A.S.E.program opens at 8:00am when the school is on a 90-minute delayed schedule.
Cancellation of After School Activities: When after school activities are cancelled, our after school child care programs continue to operate on a normal schedule.
Early Dismissal Schedule: On an early dismissal schedule, the B.A.S.E. program closes at the same time the school dismisses all students in order to ensure the safety of staff members and children. Please be sure emergency contact information is current and make prior arrangements for your child on inclement weather days.
School Closure: If our school is closed for the day, all programs and functions occurring in the building, including the B.A.S.E. program, are closed for the day.
