District-Wide Make-Up Day: Friday, April 3rd
Duncan Public Schools will be in school for a make-up day on Friday, April 3rd.
All inclement weather days were used during the January snow and ice storm, requiring one day to be made up to meet state attendance requirements.
We understand this adjustment may cause some inconvenience and appreciate the flexibility of our families and staff.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.

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!

Important Safety Rules for Crosswalks & School Zones
Please read these important safety rules regarding crosswalks and school zones.
When you see a crossing guard with their sign up or in the crosswalk, that means STOP! Do not proceed until the crossing guard has returned to the curb.
You may not enter a crosswalk while the guard has their stop sign up. You have to wait even if they are no longer on your side of the street. If they are in the road, you may not pass.
Do not stop in the crosswalk. Crossing guards can't cross kids with cars in the way. Please stop behind the crosswalk.
You may not turn right if a crossing guard is in the crosswalk. You endanger the lives of guards and children by doing this.
Obey the speed limit in school zones.
Be respectful to crossing guards. They are there to keep your kids safe. Please thank them for their service!
🔴 Remember
NO cell phone use in school zones.
Watch for school bus lights - Stop, Don't Pass!
