January 9, 2026

Good morning, FUSD Families and Staff,

Due to the current winter weather conditions, all Flagstaff Unified School District schools will have a two-hour delayed start today, January 9, 2026. The delayed start means that all schools will begin two hours after their normal start time and will release according to the regular full-day dismissal time. There will not be an early release today.  

Morning buses will run two hours later than normal today.  Parents and guardians in Kachina Village, Munds Park, and Mountainaire should bring their children to the alternate winter weather bus stops below.

High School, Middle School, and Puente de Hózhó

• Munds Park: Munds Park Post Office at 9:33 a.m. 

• Mountainaire: Mountainaire Country Store at 9:53 a.m. 

• Kachina Village: Kachina Village bus loop off Tovar Trail at 10:00 a.m. 

Kinsey Elementary School

• Munds Park: Munds Park Post Office at 8:46 a.m. 

• Mountainaire: Mountainaire Country Store at 8:59 a.m. 

DeMiguel Elementary School

• Kachina Village: Kachina Village bus loop off Tovar Trail at 9:11 a.m. 

Afternoon dismissal time and school bus routes will be the same as a regular full-day, with alternate stops remaining in effect.

Breakfasts will still be available for students today at the delayed start time. If breakfast is typically served in the cafeteria at your student’s school, breakfast will be available in the cafeteria as normal. If your student’s school does not serve breakfast in the cafeteria (i.e. breakfast is served in the classroom), we ask that students go to the cafeteria to receive breakfast this morning. Meals are not delivered to classrooms on two-hour delay days.

The FACTS before-school program will open at 7:30 a.m. this morning and operate until the start of school. Only FUSD students already scheduled to attend morning FACTS will be permitted. 

Any changes or cancellations will be communicated via email, text message, phone call, website alerts at www.fusd1.org, and official FUSD social media outlets.
