Urgent 🚨 Update: All Schools Closed Tomorrow 1/9/25
Good Morning Arcadia Unified Families and Community,
We hope this message finds you safe and well. All Arcadia Unified Schools will be closed again tomorrow, Thursday, January 9. In addition to schools being closed, all district events and services will be closed and canceled again, including athletics, and after-school programs.
Our maintenance, facilities and operations departments, and district staff continue to work to secure campuses as much as possible and do everything they can, but at this time, campuses are not safe to resume school activities. We will update everyone again tomorrow after another complete assessment in regard to schools opening back up on Friday. We continue to monitor all local conditions and are in constant contact and working with Arcadia Police, Fire, and the City of Arcadia.
We will try to communicate via email and phone with everyone, but please also check our website and Facebook page if you are not seeing emails or updates as we may have email/power issues as well. We are also providing additional resources and community updates on our Facebook page. In the event you are unable to receive the above communication or future ones, we will also update our emergency phone hotline with a recorded message you can listen to by calling (626) 821-1783.

Many of our staff and community have been greatly impacted by the fires, please keep them in your hearts and minds. Please do not call schools and inundate phone lines that need to be clear for communications with local authorities. We will continue to update everyone as conditions change and warrant.
Thanks to everyone for your continued support, and please stay safe.
Sincerely,
Arcadia Unified
