Walters Public Schools will transition to Virtual Education tomorrow, Thursday, January 29, 2026. Students that are enrolled in Red River Career Tech will not attend career tech. JH Basketball has been cancelled.
This decision is due to our bus routes and many city streets still being covered in snow and/or ice. In addition, there are areas on our school campuses that continue to have patches of ice. As always, the safety of our students is our top priority, and we do not feel it is worth the risk to return at this time.
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our maintenance department and to John Anderson for working all day to clear the school campus, their hard work and dedication are truly appreciated.
We are hopeful that warmer temperatures tomorrow will help thaw road conditions so that we can safely return to in-person instruction soon.
Please continue to check our school website and social media sites for updates.
Thank you once again for your patience and understanding.
