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!

🎄✨ Dress Like an Elf Day at DHS! ✨🎄
Our halls were full of holiday cheer today, and Principal Elroy led the fun as our very own “Elf on the Shelf!”
She magically appeared in a new spot between each class period, and students who found her earned extra lunchtime as a reward.
What a joyful way to bring smiles, laughter, and a little holiday magic to our campus! ❤️💚

Duncan Band Boosters are hosting their 13th Annual Mattress Fundraiser on Saturday, January 31st, from 10am-5pm. This may sound odd, but it is the best way to buy a new mattress because the prices can’t be beaten, the brands are the same as retail stores, and every purchase benefits the Band Boosters.
