As winter weather patterns shift across Arizona, staying informed about school closings and delays is critical for families, particularly in the High Country where snow and ice are most prevalent.

Current School Closings and Delays Status

How to Stay Updated

Arizona school schedules can change rapidly due to sudden “snow days” in the north or extreme heat policies in the south.

Local News Channels: Tune in to 12 News (KPNX) or FOX 10 Phoenix for live scrolling tickers of any emergency closures.
District Websites: In Arizona, most districts use an automated “Emergency Alert” banner on their homepage for weather delays.
Radio Alerts: For Northern Arizona residents, KNAU (91.7 FM) provides the most consistent updates for Flagstaff and Williams closures.

Standard Delay Schedules

When a “2-Hour Delay” is called in Arizona (common in Prescott, Flagstaff, and Payson), the following usually applies:

Buses: Pick up students exactly 2 hours after their normal time.
Breakfast: Typically not served on delay days.
Release Time: School usually ends at the regular time, regardless of the delayed start.
