The school made the decision to close after bats appeared in the hallways during school hours, and dead bats were being found each morning in and around the school.
No one has been bitten, and they wanted to ensure that no one was, so the decision to close whilst the bats could be removed was made.
As killing them is not allowed, the bats are being encouraged to leave in various manners.
Once they have all been chased out, the building will be fully sealed, and a netting which bat sonar will pick up will be placed to keep them away.
The school is expected to reopen on Tuesday.
Southwest Colorado has seen a large amount of bats this summer, and bat removal companies have come from other states to deal with the influx.
