Colorado ISD Responds to Smoke at Colorado Elementary School
COLORADO CITY, Texas - Colorado ISD responded today to smoke reported in the Assistant Principal’s office at Colorado Elementary School.
Out of an abundance of caution, CES and CMS students and staff were evacuated to the MP while local fire and police departments, along with district maintenance personnel, evaluated the area. Colorado High School was also briefly evacuated as a precaution.
The source of the smoke was determined to be an issue with an air conditioning unit involving the motor. The necessary adjustment has been made, and there is no risk to students or staff.
All campuses have been cleared, and students and staff have returned to their normal school day.
Colorado ISD appreciates the quick response of our local first responders, maintenance team, staff, and students. The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority.

📧 PARENTS - CHECK YOUR EMAIL!
Colorado ISD has sent important information about our new Raptor Visitor Management System and how you can create a Raptor Passport.
We are asking parents to take a few minutes to set this up before visiting campus. Having your Raptor Passport ready will help make the check-in process quicker, especially on busy days like Grandparents’ Day, classroom parties and school events.
📱 Quick & Easy Steps:
1️⃣ Download the Raptor Safe app from the App Store or Google Play.
2️⃣ Open the app and select Raptor Passport.
3️⃣ Enter your phone number and verify it.
4️⃣ Scan your driver's license, state ID or passport.
5️⃣ Follow the prompts to complete your Raptor Passport.
6️⃣ When you visit campus, use your Raptor Passport/QR code at the visitor kiosk.
🚨 IMPORTANT: You will still need to check in at the kiosk when visiting campus. Anyone who has not been scanned through our system will need to have a valid ID scanned. No ID = no entry into the building.
Please check your email for the full instructions and get your Raptor Passport set up before you need it!
Thank you for helping us make campus check-in faster and keep our schools safe. 🐺
