As a precaution due to the possibility of a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) by Xcel Energy, Bethke Elementary, Timnath Elementary, and Timnath Middle-High School will be closed Dec. 17. All athletics and activities at these schools are also canceled Wed., Dec. 17. This decision was made to ensure we do not need to dismiss students during the school day if power is shut off for an extended period.
These closures are in addition to the previously announced closures of Red Feather Lakes Elementary, Stove Prairie Elementary, and Livermore Elementary, which will be closed due to unsafe transportation conditions caused by high winds.
What families and staff should know:
- Bethke Elementary, Timnath Elementary, and Timnath Middle-High School will be closed Wednesday, Dec. 17.
