DH: WU vs. Emporia State University | Washburn University Box Office
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.
We miss our Jay Shideler families and can’t wait to see you all very soon!

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.

Due to ongoing weather conditions, schools in the Auburn-Washburn district will remain closed on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. City, county, and district crews are working tirelessly to clear roadways, parking lots, and sidewalks, and we offer our deepest appreciation to them for their dedicated efforts. Given the extent of snow, however, additional time is needed to ensure all areas are properly treated for a safe return to school. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
