Auburn-Washburn USD 437
We had genuinely hoped to welcome students back today, but after carefully evaluating bus routes this morning, we have made the difficult decision to keep schools closed. This decision was influenced by three primary factors:
- Additional snow accumulation overnight
- Refreezing of previously treated streets
- Many streets and roadways remaining impassable
We understand the challenges this week has presented for our families, and we share in your eagerness to resume school. However, the safety of our students and staff must remain our top priority, and we simply cannot reopen until we feel conditions are safe. Thank you for your understanding. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, January 13, 2025.

After assessing conditions during our bus route attempts today, Auburn-Washburn schools will remain closed on Thursday, January 9, 2025. Despite the dedicated efforts of road crews, many residential side streets and county roads remain untreated, making it unsafe for buses to navigate all routes. Crews continue to work around the clock to treat streets, and with the warmer temperatures expected tomorrow, we are hopeful schools will safely reopen on Friday. Thank you for your patience as we navigate these challenging weather conditions together.

Schools in the Auburn-Washburn district will remain closed on Wednesday, January 8, 2025. This decision was made after careful consultation with city and county authorities, as well as input from seasoned bus drivers who have been assessing road conditions on our routes. This was a historic storm – the third-largest single-day snowfall on record – and additional time is needed to ensure our roadways are safe for travel. We look forward to welcoming students back from winter break, but must place priority on student and staff safety at this time. We appreciate your understanding.
Don’t let the tardiness of the post deter from the excitement to recognize last week’s 🌟GOLDEN🌟award winners! These fine people were recognized by others in the building for representing what it means to ROAR (show Respect, take Ownership, be an Actice learner, and Remain safe.)
Great job, Wildcats! 👏
