This isn’t how we hoped to finish the week, but safety has to come first. With temperatures expected to fall below freezing overnight and icy spots likely to return on neighborhood and school roads, Duncan Public Schools will be closed on Friday, January 30th.
Road conditions should improve later in the day, but the morning hours are expected to be difficult for buses, student drivers, and staff. We know this closing may cause challenges for families, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we make decisions with safety in mind.
We look forward to welcoming students and staff back on Monday, ready to start a new week together!

📌 No Virtual Learning
We understand that these decisions can create difficulties for families, and we do not make them lightly. Student and staff safety are our top priority.
Please continue to monitor our social media accounts, the Duncan Public Schools App, and local news outlets for future updates.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Whether your family is bundling up to build snowmen, sledding through the neighborhood, or staying cozy inside and avoiding the snow altogether, we’d love to see how our DPS families are enjoying these snowy days. Share your photos with us and let us see how you’re making the most of the snow!
We also want to send a huge thank you to those working in these winter conditions. Thank you for keeping our community safe during the weather. We appreciate you!

The day was filled with engaging activities, great snacks, meaningful conversations, and new connections.
