Winter Weather Reminders & E-Learning
If conditions are deemed unfit for opening school, it is DPS 109's intent to utilize a remote learning day when possible in place of adding an extra day to the end of the school year. If the forecast calls for unfavorable conditions, students and staff will be alerted the day before to bring home devices and prepare for the possibility of a remote learning day. The determination wouldn't be made until the actual morning of school.
