Parents and staff,

On March 19, 2024, Farmington Municipal Schools made the following changes to our inclement weather procedures:

  • In the event school buildings are closed due to snow or other inclement weather, classes will be canceled on those days. There will not be any remote learning.

  • If there is a 2-hour delay on Monday through Friday, the preschool AM session is canceled, and the preschool PM session will still be held.

  • There can be 2-hour delays during the school year only if buses cannot run at their regular times. Buses will pick students up 2 hours later than usual.

  • On days when inclement weather cancels school, all co-curricular activities, extra-curricular activities, and other district activities are canceled unless the Superintendent or their designee makes an exception.

Depending on when the decision is made, notifications will begin the night before or the day of, starting at 5:00 a.m. to our commuters from Durango and nearby towns, followed by calls to parents and staff between 5:30 and 6:00 a.m. You will find up-to-date information:
