ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - Most schools across Southcentral — including practically the entire Anchorage School District — are closed Tuesday to in-person learning due to snowfall impacts.
Aside from Girdwood, ASD said all schools will be closed and classes will be conducted remotely.
“Today is a Remote Learning Day, except for Girdwood PreK-8, due to hazardous weather and road conditions,” ASD wrote on Facebook.
“Unless otherwise announced, in-person learning resumes tomorrow. Girdwood PreK-8 remains in-person learning today.”
Shortly after 10 a.m., ASD announced that all after-school activities and community rentals are canceled for Tuesday afternoon due to continued road conditions.
Lumen Christi Catholic High School and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School are also closed.
This storm could leave as much as a foot of snow in Anchorage, now under a Winter Storm Warning.
Heavy snowfall also impacts students in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough and Kenai Peninsula Borough.
