Colorado School Closings

| | Colorado, United States | No Comments

As a major winter storm descends upon the Front Range and the high country, school districts across Colorado are closely monitoring road conditions.

Current School Closings and Delays Status


Where to Find Real-Time Closing Lists

Colorado does not have a single centralized “state” list. Instead, information is funneled through local news outlets and district websites:

Resource Best For
9News (KUSA) Comprehensive Denver metro & Front Range list.
KRDO News Best for Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Southern CO updates.
District Websites The most “official” source for specific start times and bus delays.
CDOT (COtrip.org) Checking if school bus routes are even passable.

How Colorado “Delayed Starts” Work

Most Colorado districts (like Cherry Creek, Boulder Valley, and Greeley-Evans) utilize a 2-Hour Delay system to avoid full closures.

  • Bus Pick-up: Add exactly 2 hours to your normal stop time.

  • Morning Programs: Most morning preschool and “Before Care” programs are canceled during a delay.

  • Thursday Exception: Many districts (like Elizabeth School District) already have scheduled late starts on Thursdays.2 In these cases, a weather delay might only add 1 hour to the existing schedule or result in a full closure.

Parent Tip: If you feel the roads in your specific neighborhood are unsafe, most Colorado districts (including BVSD and Jeffco) allow parents to make the final call. An absence due to weather is typically marked as excused if you call the attendance line.
