Emergency Closings & Alerts

At Apache Junction Unified School District, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority.

In the event of weather-related closures, delayed starts, early dismissals, or other emergencies, we are committed to keeping families informed quickly and clearly.

When We Close or Delay

School closures or schedule changes may occur due to:
• Severe weather (such as heavy rain, flooding, high winds, or extreme heat)
• Power outages or utility failures
• Other safety emergencies impacting our campuses or community

We carefully monitor conditions and work closely with local agencies to make decisions as early as possible — often by early morning for school-day impacts.

How to Stay Prepared

To help us communicate with you effectively:
• Ensure your contact details are updated in ParentSquare
• Follow AJUSD on Facebook and Instagram
• Watch for early morning or evening alerts during severe weather forecasts
