APS School Closures: Snow and Icy Conditions Impact Albuquerque Area Schools

APS School Closures: A significant winter storm has led to numerous school delays and closures across New Mexico, affecting thousands of families and school staff. Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) have announced a two-hour delay for all schools on Thursday, November 7. However, students at APS East Mountain Schools will have an asynchronous learning day.

Key Details for APS Students and Parents

APS Two-Hour Delay: For all Albuquerque Public Schools, classes will start two hours later than usual. Buses will also run two hours later, and school ends at the regular time. Zero-hour activities, morning therapies, and the Developmental Pre-school Program are canceled.

East Mountain Schools: Students at A. Montoya Elementary, San Antonito Elementary, Roosevelt Middle School, and Manzano High School (East Mountain residents) will participate in asynchronous learning. Assignments must be completed at home, but students without digital access will have extra time to complete work once back in class.

Manzano High School: Students living in Albuquerque, rather than in the East Mountains, will follow the two-hour delay schedule.

Employee Guidance

APS has asked all employees, whether school-based or non-school-based, to report to work as close to their regular schedule as possible, allowing for a two-hour delay if road conditions are hazardous. Employees unable to report must take annual or personal leave.

Additional Cancellations

Several programs, including the Early College Academy, which will operate from 10:40 a.m. to 2:50 p.m., have adjusted schedules. Other activities, like the Career Enrichment Center classes, are canceled for the day.
