With a snow storm on the way, we have decided to CANCEL after school clubs, classes and tutoring at Edison for TODAY, April 10. Please make arrangements to pick up all students at 3:30 PM today. Currently, Discovery Link will still provide after school care to students – if this changes we will let everyone know.
Just as a reminder….the DPS/Edison Weather Delay and Closure policies:
Weather Delay Schedule for Identified Schools: In the event of adverse weather conditions that would impede the Transportation Department’s ability to safely access students, a “Weather Delay Schedule for Identified Schools” will be implemented. The goal for this delay schedule is to provide buses/students an additional 60 minutes to access schools that start at 8:30 a.m. or later. If DPS has a Weather Delay, school will begin at Edison for ALL students at 9:40 AM. Morning buses will begin pickups at bus stops 1 hour later than the normal pick up time. Discovery Link will provide day care for students from 6:30 AM until 9:40 AM when school starts. Breakfast will still be served to students as they arrive to school.
School Closing: If schools are to be closed due to weather conditions, the district is committed to making a decision as early as possible. The decision to close is made by the Superintendent based on information provided by representatives from transportation agencies, the weather bureau, city and county law enforcement and DPS Transportation. If school is cancelled, this information will be communicated in the following ways: local television and radio stations, dpsk12.org, the district ‘s Facebook and Twitter pages.
Severe Weather During School Day: DPS will closely monitor severe weather conditions and forecasts throughout the day to ensure student safety. Should severe weather begin during the school day, bus routes will run in the same order as normally followed in the afternoon. Depending on conditions, arrival times at home may be delayed. After-school activities (athletic events, enrichment programs, Discovery Link, etc.) may be modified or cancelled as a result of the weather conditions. Edison will send IC messages to communicate school closures during the school day.
Please stay warm and safe in the storm. Please call Edison’s office at 720-424-7780 with any additional questions.
Thank you,
Sally Whitelock, Principal
