SCHOOL STATUS BELOW:

 

SCROLL DOWN IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE TEXT MESSAGES WHEN YOUR SCHOOL SYSTEM IS CLOSED OR OPERATING ON A DELAY.

Note:  School Status is reset in the middle of the day in preparation for the next school day. 
If your school is NOT listed, that means we have not heard from that school, so assume a regular schedule until you see it listed here.  Check back often as updates come in at various times.  If your browser saves a cached copy of this page, it may be necessary to press "CTRL" and "F5" buttons simultaneously to refresh the screen on your computer.

INITIAL REPORTS ARE USUALLY CALLED INTO WKRK BETWEEN 5:30-6:30 AM ON SEVERE WEATHER DAYS.  BUT KEEP CHECKING BACK AS THE STATUS MAY CHANGE DUE TO DEVELOPING WEATHER SITUATIONS.

SCHOOL CLOSINGS TEXT MESSAGING:
WHEN YOU SIGN UP FOR SCHOOL CLOSINGS TEXT MESSAGING, YOU WILL RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION TEXT TELLING YOU THAT YOU ARE SUBSCRIBED TO SCHOOL CLOSING TEXT MESSAGING.  ONCE YOU RECEIVE THAT MESSAGE, YOU WILL BEGIN RECEIVING UPDATES.  IT MAY TAKE UP TO 24-48 HOURS TO PROCESS
.  IF YOU DO NOT RECEIVE THIS CONFIRMATION, OR DO NOT RECEIVE ANY TEXTS, RETURN TO THIS PAGE AND SIGN UP AGAIN USING THE FORM BELOW.

   

We usually don't report "Openings" unless the situation at hand is very confusing and needs clarification.  For instance, with a college, if one campus is closed, but another campus is open.
We do not report business closings, delays, or openings with the exception of large industries where a large amount of people are affected. 

To keep our list of closings/delays small and easy to manage, we request that only organizations with 50 or more students and/or employees use our services ... where mass media is necessary for last minute contact.  Smaller organizations who can easily send emails or make a few phone calls will not be included in our list of closings.  Our goal is to serve the MAJORITY of the population as quickly as possible.


Cancellations and Delays are only accepted on Private, Non-published phone numbers at WKRK.  And even with that, a prearranged password is required for us to proceed with a closing.  This prevents pranksters from trying to trick us into announcing a school closing.  If you have not made prior arrangments with WKRK to handle closings, your organization will not be included on our list.
