DSST: Cedar Middle School

Weather alert - school closure

02/23/23, 10:16 AM

Due to severely cold weather conditions and our already planned half-day schedule, all DSST schools in Denver will be closed on Thursday, Feb. 23. This includes after-school and athletic activities.

While we typically follow Denver Public School decisions for when to close for in-person learning, we have run into extraordinary circumstances and have been forced to deviate from DPS in this instance. Because of our previously scheduled ½ day exam schedule, we would be unable to administer testing at our campuses given the extremely short day of 1 or 2 hours. This incredibly short length of day would be unduly challenging for students and families. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Final exams and assessments will take place the week of Feb. 27, and we will share more details soon.
