Urgent 🚨 Update: All Schools Closed Tomorrow

Good Evening Arcadia Unified Families and Community,

All Arcadia Unified Schools will be closed tomorrow, January 8. As you are likely aware and monitoring yourself, the National Weather Service has issued several alerts for extreme weather conditions, especially in regard to the extreme winds and potential fire hazards. In addition to schools being closed, all district events and services will be closed and canceled, including athletics, and after-school programs.

Our maintenance and facilities departments have been working overtime to secure campuses as much as possible and do everything they can to ensure necessary precautions are being taken. We will update everyone tomorrow by 3 p.m. in regard to the rest of the week.

We encourage you to take precautions at your own home, securing all outdoor furniture and ensuring windows and areas possibly vulnerable to strong winds are secured. Please charge your phones, Chromebooks, and other devices as power outages may increase throughout the night. More tips and resources are below.

We will try to communicate via email and phone with everyone, but please also check our website and Facebook page if you are not seeing emails or updates as we may have email/power issues as well.

Resources we encourage you to utilize: (links available on our website)

We know we have staff who have already been impacted and live in areas where they have been evacuated. Please do not call schools and inundate phone lines that need to be clear for communications with local authorities. We will continue to update everyone as conditions change and warrant.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support, and please stay safe.

Sincerely,
Arcadia Unified
