All Fayetteville Public Schools will be closed on Tuesday, Jan. 7 “due to icy road conditions,” district officials announced late Monday afternoon.

Snow fell across the Fayetteville area early Sunday, which led to school closures in all four of the major Northwest Arkansas districts on Monday.

Tuesday’s closure marks the seventh day Fayetteville Public School students have missed classes this school year. Students missed five days in early December when district officials closed classes after a major snowstorm hit the area. The full make-up day schedule is available below.
