Official notice of classes resuming in Los Cabos after the Hurricane Rachel closure

Schools at every level in the municipality of Los Cabos reopen Monday, October 5, for both morning and afternoon shifts, the Baja California Sur State Civil Protection Council announced. The decision ends the closure that began Thursday, October 1, because of Hurricane Rachel.

According to the state government, classes resume because conditions are now adequate and safe for students, teachers and administrative staff. Authorities asked residents to keep following official announcements and instructions.

Why classes were suspended

The State Civil Protection Council suspended classes in Los Cabos on Thursday, October 1, as a preventive measure. At that time, according to the state notice, Rachel was a Category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 140 km/h, gusts up to 170 km/h and a forecast of 50 to 75 millimeters of rain for the southern part of the state.

The closure was extended through Friday, October 2. With the weekend in between, Los Cabos students missed two school days.

What to check before heading out

  • Route to school: Rachel's remnants are still bringing rain, and the city is monitoring arroyos such as Salto Seco and Aguajito in Cabo San Lucas. Avoid flooded dips even if it means a longer route.
  • Schools used as shelters: the city set up temporary shelters at CECyTE 04 and Secundaria Técnica No. 14 in San José del Cabo, and at the Héroes de 1847 and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz elementary schools in Cabo San Lucas. If your children attend one of these, check with the school office about any schedule or access changes.
  • Last-minute notices: if conditions change, updates will come through official state government and Civil Protection channels.

The measure applies only to Los Cabos. The state notices reviewed did not report school closures for this storm in La Paz, Comondú, Loreto or Mulegé.
