DILLON — Summit School District announced at about 6:30 a.m. Friday that school would be closed for the day because of weather.
School district spokeswoman Mikki Grebetz sent the following email:
“Due to the forecast of continued heavy snow and strong winds, and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of students, families, and staff, all Summit Schools are closed today, Friday, December 13, 2019.”
It’s the first snow day of the school year, and Grebetz said the district typically cancels classes for weather a couple of times each year. The last time Summit schools were closed for weather was March 7, when a series of avalanches shut down roadways and schools, caused power outages and delayed resort openings. School also was closed March 4 of the same week because of heavy snowfall.
