In collaboration with other Denver-metro area school districts, all Platte Canyon Schools will be closed on Wednesday, April 17 due to an ongoing safety concern. All facilities and programs are closed for the day – no employees are to report. There will be no afternoon activities or athletic competitions. We will continue to keep families updated on this situation before the end of the day on Wednesday. All students who have already been picked up by our buses will be returned to their regular stops as soon as possible.

Hope this is resolved today. We don't want the kids to miss so much school. Plus often parents have to miss work to stay home with their children. And low income kids may miss meals.
