Northern Arizona Schools Delay or Close on Flooding

Live Poll

Do you trust your local schools to handle severe weather closures well?

Several northern Arizona school districts adjusted their schedules on Monday, November 2, 2026, after widespread flooding in the region. Flagstaff Unified, Page Unified and several charter and private schools started two hours late, while all Camp Verde Unified schools were closed.

Why it matters

Widespread flooding across northern Arizona is forcing districts to change or cancel the school day with little notice, which upends work schedules and childcare plans for families. Schools are prioritizing student safety on roads and in buildings that may be affected by the water.

Flagstaff Unified School District, Northland Preparatory Academy, BASIS Flagstaff, Montessori School of Flagstaff, Page Unified and Pine Forest School are all on a two-hour delay on Monday, November 2. All Camp Verde Unified School District schools are closed that day, and Little Singer Community School canceled classes for the same reason.

The details

Schools are adjusting Monday schedules because of flooding that has affected several parts of northern Arizona. Portions of the Mile High Middle School campus in Prescott were flooded, which led that district to cancel classes there. NAU's Flagstaff campus will remain closed until 10 a.m. Monday, and Seba Dalkai School is expected to resume classes Tuesday.

The Home Front

Weather-driven school closures in northern Arizona are a recurring disruption for families who depend on fixed school hours. This event adds to that pattern by delaying or canceling classes across multiple districts at once.

Check your school district's website or app for the latest delay or closure notice before leaving for the day. If your child's school is delayed, plan for the extra two hours of supervision or childcare.

The takeaway

Flood-related school changes can come with little warning, so keep a reliable way to receive district alerts on hand. Build a backup childcare plan for delayed or canceled days.
