Current School Closings and Delays Status

How to Get Real-Time Updates from Denver7

Denver7 provides several ways to track school status changes as they happen:

  1. The Denver7 Closing Tracker: The most direct way is via the Denver7 School Closings & Delays page. This list is alphabetized and updated the moment a district notifies the station.

  2. Denver7+ App: Available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV, the Denver7+ app features a 24/7 live stream where closing tickers run constantly during weather events.

  3. Mobile Push Alerts: You can download the Denver7 News App and customize your “Weather Alerts” to receive a notification specifically for major school district changes.

Understanding the Different Statuses

In Colorado, districts often use “Delayed Starts” rather than full closures to maximize instructional time.

Status Impact on Schedule
2-Hour Delay School and bus pickups start exactly 2 hours after the normal time. AM Preschool is often canceled.
Remote Learning Day Physical buildings are closed, but students are expected to log in for “synchronous” learning from home.
Full Closure All classes and school-sponsored activities (including sports) are canceled for the day.

The 5:00 AM Goal

Superintendents in the Denver metro area aim to make a final decision on closings or delays by 5:00 AM. They base this decision on local police reports, CDOT road sensors, and consultations with the Denver7 First Alert Weather team. If a storm is forecasted to intensify during the day, they may also issue an “Early Dismissal,” which is broadcast immediately on Denver7.
