Snow Day
Closures related to weather that last one day will be treated as a snow day.
The determination to cancel school for an entire day will happen as early as possible.
Families and staff will be directly notified by 6:00 a.m.
Our remote learning programs, Jeffco Virtual Academy and Jeffco Remote Learning Program, will participate in snow days (no attendance).
AFTER SCHOOL CARE, EVENT CANCELLATIONS OR POSTPONEMENTS
If weather conditions during the school day turn dangerous, after-school activities may be cancelled. The decision will be made no later than 1:00 p.m., and communicated to all families and staff shortly afterwards. All students are expected to go home after school if after-school activities are cancelled and after-school care programs may close early. Staff will remain until all students are picked up, however we ask parents to please pick up students as soon as they are able if notified of after-school cancellations.
Remote Learning Day
Closures related to weather that last one day will be treated as a snow day.
Remote learning days would only be considered or utilized if a weather incident is extreme and closure is expected for multiple days in a row.
To transition to remote learning days we must have sufficient lead time to communicate to students, staff, and families to prepare for a multi-day closure.
Jeffco Public Schools may opt for a 100% remote learning day for all students should conditions require closure of district facilities due to weather, poor travel conditions, or other urgent issues.
New Mental Health Resource for Students:
The Colorado Department of Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health, and partners are proud to launch I Matter, a program that pairs youth with mental health professionals.
It’s a great place for youth to find someone to talk to for free if they've been feeling down or just want to make sense of their emotions.
