While the school day started as normally scheduled in Paonia, Hotchkiss and Crawford, heavy snowfall prompted a two-hour delay for students in the Delta-Cedaredge areas Tuesday, Dec. 8. “We tried to give the road crews time to clear and sand the roads,” said community relations director John Jones. Middle school sports events were canceled Tuesday night, while high school activities were evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Away games at schools which were closed for the day will be rescheduled. Jones said notification was made through Grand Junction television stations and the school district’s website, www.deltaschools.com. Traditionally, the district has relied on radio stations to broadcast closures and delays, but Jones said many play syndicated shows early in the morning and are not manned by live disc jockeys. Parents always have the option of keeping their students home, Jones added, and that appeared to be the case in Delta schools where attendance was down significantly. Students can make up their work for full credit. Above, Dan Cholas clears the sidewalk in front of Garnet Mesa Elementary School.
