• Aurora Public Schools will be dismissed two hours early
• Denver Public Schools will be doing a staggered early release: Middle schools and high schools will be released at noon, elementary schools, including K-8 schools, will be released at 2 p.m. The later release for elementary schools is to allow parents more time to get to bus drop-off locations to meet their students.
