Enjoy your snow day, Eagles! 🦅❄️

The Douglas County School District will be CLOSED on Wednesday, May 6 due to inclement weather conditions.

A winter storm warning is in effect for Douglas County now through tomorrow afternoon. We recognize that while recent warm temperatures may limit snow accumulation on roads, the heavy wet snow increases the chances of power outages, downed power lines and broken tree branches. In addition, roads are likely to be icy, especially in the early morning hours. According to forecasts, it is expected to snow until 3:00 p.m. tomorrow.

- As always, in the event of a closure, all DCSD buildings are closed.
Preschool, elementary, middle school and high school classes are cancelled
- BASE programs are closed
- Classes at the Bridge Program, D.C. Oakes, Eagle Academy, eDCSD and Plum Creek Academy are cancelled
- All activities, events, sports and facility rentals are cancelled*

*Information about any CHSAA playoff game cancellations will come directly from your school.

If you have a high school student who is scheduled to take an AP or other exam tomorrow, your school will provide information about make-up dates and times.

If your child attends a DCSD charter school, we encourage you to check in with your school.

Our snow team will continue to monitor the storm. We will provide any updates on our website and social media.

❄️❄️❄️

DCSD’s Snow Team is closely monitoring the forecasted, incoming winter storm. Updates regarding possible delays or closures will be available on the DCSD website and social media pages. Should no update be sent prior to 5:00 a.m., then school takes place on a normal schedule. If you are not comfortable with your children attending school, you may keep them home and it will be an excused absence - please be sure to notify your children’s school(s) if you choose to do so. Families who attend DCSD charter schools should check in with their school for any weather delays or closures.
