Dear Parents,

We have received and will follow the following guideline on School or Child Care Closure:

Colorado School Closure Guideline

Here are some highlights:

  • Any school in Colorado with a single confirmed case of COVID-19 in a staff or student
    will close for a minimum of 72 hours for cleaning and social distancing
  • Any schools that are closed will partner with their local public health agency to
    conduct contact tracing and further COVID-19 testing.
  • Any school with a second confirmed case of COVID-19 in a staff or student within a 30
    day period requires a second minimum 72 closure for cleaning, testing and public
    health investigation.
  • Any school with 3 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in staff or students within a 30 day
    period requires a closure for a minimum of 14 days.
  • If 3 schools in a district have confirmed cases of COVID-19 within a 30 day period, all
    schools within the district are required to close for a minimum of 14 days for cleaning,
    testing and public health investigation.
