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.
