We love visitors like our Jeffco Public Schools - Colorado Board President, Michelle Applegate! Thanks for spending time with us this morning learning about our version for the future and hearing how we are making sure our students are receiving a world-class education.

We are so grateful to our amazing Hackberry Hill PTA and the generosity of our community to help us achieve this goal! It has been years in the making and today we get to celebrate and unveil this beautiful new gym floor!

Today’s the day! Hackberry community: stick around after school today for the Gym Floor Ribbon Cutting Celebration! 🎉

Hackberry Hill will be OPEN for school on Thursday, 12/18. See you soon!

Due to current power outages as a result of Xcel Energy’s Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS), the schools listed below will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, December 18. All other Jeffco Public Schools will proceed with a normal school day. Due to colder temperatures expected tomorrow and unknown time for restoration, we determined that these specific schools will not be able to safely operate without power for an extended period of time. Charter school families, please check your school’s website to verify weather-related delays and closures.

Please Note: We plan to evaluate the status of our facilities in the morning, and if additional closures are required, impacted schools will be notified directly. Additionally, Xcel Energy has indicated the potential for another outage on Friday, December 19, which may affect a larger area. Schools without power today and tomorrow are unlikely to have service restored by Friday. Xcel has advised that restoration may take anywhere from several hours to multiple days, depending on conditions and required safety inspections. We will communicate tomorrow about plans for school on Friday, December 19.

Note: Conifer area schools that currently have power are impacted by a power outage at the water treatment facility that impacts the water supply to local schools.

We take the decision to cancel school very seriously as many of our students and families rely on our schools for their academic experience and other daily supports. All childcare programs, after-school activities and meetings scheduled in the facilities listed above are canceled.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate rapidly evolving conditions. We will continue to communicate as more information becomes available.

After consulting with Xcel Energy several times in the last 24 hours about the potential Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) scheduled for tomorrow, Jeffco Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, December 17. Charter school families, please check your school’s website to verify weather-related delays and closures.

Due to the large geographic area anticipated to be impacted by power outages across Jeffco tomorrow and unknown restoration times, we determined that our facilities will likely experience significant disruption that could pose a safety risk to students, families and staff.

The late hour of this decision reflects the consideration that went into it as well as the evolving nature of the situation. We consulted with many of our school leaders as well as state officials in making this decision. We acknowledge the inconvenience to our families and the disruption to our students who are focused on a strong finish to the semester.

Ultimately, our responsibility is to prioritize safety which includes the ability to safely transport students to and from school, and ensure they have safe and warm buildings for learning. We have worked to make the best decisions we can based on the information provided to us by Xcel.

All childcare programs, after-school activities and meetings scheduled to be in Jeffco Public Schools facilities are canceled. No Jeffco Public Schools transportation services will be provided for services within or outside the district.

We are so grateful for community partners like Arvada Elks Lodge #2278! Once again, they have donated grocery gift cards to our school to ensure all of our families have a warm and happy holiday season. We appreciate all the hard work, fundraising, and HEART they put into our community. 💙 

Hope to see all of you at this amazing event!
