For our students who must wait for buses or walk even short distances to school, the expected wind chill of -1 on Thursday morning is simply dangerous. It is not expected to get warmer during the day. Therefore, Amarillo ISD schools will be closed on Thursday, February 3.

The NWS expects the wind chill to be above zero by 10 a.m. Delaying the start of school helps balance safety in low temperatures with meeting the needs of our students who rely on school meals. If you feel it is best to keep your student at home, we support your decision.
