CMA closely monitors weather conditions and consults with local authorities, including the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), National Weather Service, military installations, and other nearby school districts. 

Factors considered include:

• Road conditions and safety – including snow accumulation, ice, and visibility.

• Weather forecasts – potential for worsening conditions throughout the day.

• Building conditions – availability of heat, power, and water.

• Transportation – safety for families and staff commuting to school.

When CMA determines a closure or delay, families will be informed through multiple channels:

• Email & Text Alerts – Parents/guardians will receive a direct notification.

• Social Media – Updates will be posted on our official Facebook and Instagram pages.

• Local News Stations – Announcements will be made on KOAA, KKTV, and KRDO.

• Flash Alert App – Families can receive real-time notifications through the Flash Alert App.

• If school is closed, all before- and after-school activities, including extracurriculars, athletics, and club meetings, will be canceled.

• If there is a delayed start, morning activities will be canceled, but after-school programs may continue unless otherwise notified.
