Adams County School District 50 wants to remind parents that school closures do occur on days when heavy snow and dangerous travel conditions exist. If a school is closed because of weather, a notice will be posted immediately on District 50’s website, www.adams50.org, and on D50 TV found on Comcast channel 54. The district also notifies local TV and radio stations, which share the information as quickly as possible. Parents will also receive a call informing families of any closures, therefore, it is important that parents make sure their child’s school has the most up-to-date phone number for school closures.
