Snow Day January 30th, 2026
No Virtual Learning

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!

Duncan Public Schools will be closed on Thursday January 29th, 2026.
📌 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.
