This is an effort to give snowplow drivers time to clear the roads. This two-hour delay includes all bus routes, school-related events and activities. Please note that a Snow Day Closure may still be called today by approximately 7:30 a.m. If there is no further notice, schools will open after the two-hour delay.
We will continue to keep families informed of any change in school schedules through our emergency notification system. For updates, please check your phone, email, visit our website at durangoschools.org, or call the District Information Line at (970) 375-3811.
