Winter Weather in DPS

REMINDER: The decision to keep schools open or to close them during winter-weather conditions is made with one overriding factor in mind: the well-being of our students and their families. Schools are not only vital places of learning for students, but they also provide nutrition, health care, counseling and support services. Whenever possible, DPS strives to keep schools open during extreme weather conditions. During winter-weather conditions, transportation will monitor weather, roads and CDOT’s street-status for travel by buses and DPS families. Transportation will also be in close communication with maintenance staff members to clear snow and ice at each school site and bus stop areas at schools. As a reminder, weather and street conditions can vary greatly within the boundaries of Denver. Detailed DPS winter weather and snow day information, including information on how families can find out if school is closed, can be found on the DPS website.
