Summer Camp begins June 25. Information will be ready in the early spring.
Later in the year, you will need to know what to do about classes during our crazy weather patterns. Always check the weather before you leave the house. We may need jackets, boots or sunhats that you weren't expecting.
Snowy Weather:
For all closures and late start situations due to inclement weather, we follow the guidelines of the Douglas County School District. Local TV broadcasts will begin announcing attendance schedules at 5:00 a.m. Watch for:
DouglasCo School District
All Schools (This is for heavy snowfall through out Douglas County)DougCo Chaparrel Feeder Area
(For our local area only)Renaissance Montessori Academy
(This announcement will be broadcast by 6:00 a.m.)
There will be no school or before/after care on a snow day. You can also check the following:
Call the Parker Area hotline 303-805-6767 or use the District's web site ( www.dcsd.k12.co.us ) for easy access to updated schedule information on our school. Any weather-related schedule changes will be posted by 5:00 a.m.
Late Start Days:
On days where the district indicates a 1-hour delay, classes for the Renaissance Montessori Academy will begin at 8:00 a.m., with no before care.
Early Dismissal:
In the event weather conditions deteriorate rapidly and unexpectedly during school hours, parents will be informed that school, including after care, will be dismissed early. While we realize that this is always inconvenient, we ask your cooperation in picking up your children as quickly as possible. Roads will be slow and treacherous by that point. Help us get you and your child home safely.
