Dear Akron Rams Parents and Community, We were informed by the Washington County Sheriff's Department that there have been multiple schools in Colorado that have received threatening calls this morning. All of the threats have proven to be false. Some schools are in lockdown for precautionary measures. We want you to all be aware that we will be on alert all day, our school at this time has not received any threat, and that we will continue to work with Washington County Sheriff’s Department to ensure that our school is safe. Officers from the Sheriff’s department will be monitoring our campus throughout the day. If more information comes our way we will be sure to let you know.

Dear Akron Rams Families, We will have school at our regularly scheduled time today. We do understand that our out of town families may need to navigate some challenges with county road conditions. We once again encourage parents to make the best decision for your student(s) whether that be coming to school later or staying home based on your situation. If you are meeting the bus please communicate with your route driver. If your student will be late or absent please make sure you contact the school office. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we continue to work through challenging weather conditions. Thank you.

Early release 2-15-23 Attention Akron Ram Parents: Due to deteriorating weather and road conditions the Akron School will be releasing students early today at 1 PM. Because this is an early release and not a full snow day, we will NOT need to have school on Friday. Bus route parents please be at your storm route pickup spot by 1:05 pm. If you need to make alternative student pick-up arrangements, please contact the school 970-345-2268

Dear Akron Families, We will be having school today. Safety is our priority, therefore student attendance will be based on parental discretion. If you feel it is appropriate and safe for your child to attend, and transportation for you is not an issue, we encourage your child’s attendance. If you have any concerns, you may choose to keep your child home. Absences will be excused as long as a parent contacts the school office. We apologize for any inconvenience. We believe this plan addresses the varied individual needs of our parents/students and community resulting from this type of storm. Please note, if weather conditions change throughout the day, our plans may change. Thank you.
