School Closure Procedure

It is each student/family’s responsibility to seek out school closure status. During severe weather, please keep your radio or TV on for announcements regarding emergency school closings or delayed openings. We will follow all school closures and the delayed starts with the Jefferson County School District – specifically with Arvada West High School.

This information will be announced on local television and radio stations. If a delayed start is called for, ECA will start at 10:30am, and all students will report to their Advising class. The dismissal time on delayed-start days will remain the same (see the bell schedule above). The message on the ECHS main phone line will be changed to reflect weather-related closures and delays by 6:30am.
