A wide band of sleet, freezing rain and snow has pushed across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, triggering Monday school closures from Dallas County to Collin, Denton and Tarrant as travel conditions turn risky and temperatures stay pinned below freezing.
If you’re searching for “Dallas schools closed Monday” or “DFW school closings,” the short answer is this: many of the region’s biggest districts are calling off classes, and the list is still changing as the winter weather shifts. Forecasters have warned of ice on bridges and untreated roads, with dangerous wind chills expected to linger into the start of the week.
What’s driving the shutdowns: school leaders across North Texas say icy roads and unsafe bus routes are the key concern, especially during the early-morning commute. For the latest official weather alerts that help explain the decision-making, follow the National Weather Service Fort Worth office.

Colleges and universities also affected: Some higher-education campuses in the Dallas–Fort Worth area have signalled closures or suspended operations for Monday, including Dallas College and other local institutions, with students urged to check campus-wide email alerts for the final call on classes and services.
Other closures and schedule changes around Dallas: healthcare providers and major attractions have also adjusted plans. Scottish Rite’s outpatient clinics and ancillary appointments at the Dallas and Frisco campuses were reported cancelled for Monday, while some surgeries were shifted or delayed depending on location. Cook Children’s said several clinics were adjusting hours, while urgent care sites in Fort Worth and Prosper were expected to continue operating.

Museums and cultural venues have also been reshuffling schedules because of the conditions, including weekend closures at some sites and event cancellations across the Metroplex. If you’re heading anywhere in Dallas proper, factor in slick side streets, ice on bridges and slower emergency response times during the cold snap.
Dallas travel tip: even when main roads look passable, shaded areas and overpasses can refreeze quickly. If your district is closed, avoid unnecessary driving, keep phones charged, and check on neighbours who may need help staying warm.
