Albuquerque Public Schools Implement 2-Hour Delay for East Mountain Schools Due to Inclement Weather

On Friday, November 8, 2024, Albuquerque Public Schools (APS) announced a 2-hour delay for all East Mountain Schools due to inclement weather. This decision was made to ensure the safety of students, staff, and parents given the adverse weather conditions.

The delay affects all schools in the East Mountain area, and students are expected to start their school day two hours later than the usual bell time. This measure is part of APS’s protocol for managing school operations during adverse weather, aiming to minimize disruptions while prioritizing safety.

Parents and guardians are advised to check the official APS website or other communication channels for updates and any further instructions regarding school schedules. The school district will continue to monitor the weather and adjust schedules as necessary.

This is not an isolated incident, as APS has a well-defined policy for handling school delays and cancellations, which includes informing the public through various media channels and ensuring that all stakeholders are informed promptly.
