The Telluride R-1 School District and Telluride Marshal’s Department received a direct threat to the safety of our schools today. Out of an abundance of caution, we have made the decision to cancel school today while our local law enforcement completes a thorough investigation into the threat. We ask that anyone with any information related to this threat please contact me or the Telluride Marshal’s Department directly. We understand the inconvenience and stress added to your days, but the safety of our students, staff, and administration is paramount. We apologize for any disruption and will continue to keep you updated as more information surrounding this threat is brought to light. Please respond directly to me via email or phone with any questions or information related to the threat. Sincerely, John Pandolfo Superintendent

Dear TSD Community, Following the dishwasher chemical issue in our cafeteria kitchen today, the Fire Department determined our cafeteria kitchen should not be used tomorrow. As lunches for all schools are prepared in the main kitchen, this leaves us without the ability to serve lunch, and we will therefore need to hold a half day. All schools will begin at normal times, and school will end at 12:00pm with half day bus service. All athletics will remain as previously scheduled. The Fire Department has assured us that all parts of the school except the kitchen are entirely safe and there are no issues with people being in the gym or anywhere else except the kitchen. As a precaution, we will seal off the kitchen and cafeteria before tomorrow morning. We are working to schedule a special cleaning crew to clean the area where the issue is. We apologize for this inconvenience, and appreciate your flexibility and support. John Pandolfo Superintendent
