As we look ahead at possible snow tomorrow, we’d like to make sure everyone knows about DPS’ winter weather policy especially as it relates to 2 hour delays.
In an effort to increase student safety during winter months, Denver Public Schools would like to remind you of its
Weather Delay Policy for the 2019-20 school year. New for this school year, all schools (regardless of start time)
will be delayed by two hours if a Weather Delay is called by the District.
The purpose of the Weather Delay Schedule is to provide school buses additional time to pick up students and reduce
student wait time in severe weather. The decision to close or delay school will be made by the superintendent based
on information provided by representatives from DPS Transportation Services, transportation agencies and the
weather bureau.
