Conroe School Closings Today — Live Status & Delays (Texas)

Are Conroe schools closed today? Check live status below — updated every 10 minutes.

Live status monitored for Conroe ISD, New Caney ISD, Magnolia ISD, Montgomery ISD, and Willis ISD.

How Conroe ISD Announces School Closures

Conroe Independent School District (CISD), the largest district serving the Conroe area,
posts closure and delay decisions on its official website at
conroeisd.net as soon as a decision is made. The
district also pushes urgent alerts — including closures, early dismissals, and delayed
starts — directly to families’ phones through SchoolMessenger, its official
text and voice alert system (families can opt in by texting “Y” to 67587). During
significant weather events, such as an approaching tropical system, CISD has historically
announced a closure decision the evening before or by early morning, and posts follow-up
updates to its website, Facebook, and X (Twitter) accounts.

Because Conroe, The Woodlands, and the surrounding Montgomery County communities are
covered by several different districts, this page also monitors New Caney ISD
(newcaneyisd.org), Magnolia ISD
(magnoliaisd.org), Montgomery ISD
(misd.org), and Willis ISD
(willisisd.org) at the same time, alongside the
Houston-market TV stations that most often break local closure news first: KPRC 2
(click2houston.com/weather), KHOU 11
(khou.com/weather), and ABC13 KTRK
(abc13.com/weather).

Weather Risks That Can Close Conroe-Area Schools

• Severe thunderstorms and flash flooding. Montgomery County sits in one
  of the most flood-prone parts of the Houston metro; slow-moving summer and spring storms
  can dump several inches of rain in a few hours and flood low-lying roads and creek
  crossings that buses use.
• Hurricanes and tropical storms. Conroe is roughly 40 miles inland from
  the Gulf, but tropical systems making landfall along the Texas coast (such as Hurricane
  Harvey in 2017) regularly bring damaging wind and days of heavy rain far enough inland to
  force multi-day district-wide closures during hurricane season (June–November).
• Tornadoes. Severe thunderstorm complexes moving through Southeast Texas
  can spin up tornadoes with little warning, prompting the National Weather Service Houston/
  Galveston office to issue tornado warnings that can trigger shelter-in-place or early
  dismissal decisions.
• Extreme heat. Prolonged summer heat and humidity can affect early-season
  outdoor athletics, activity buses, and campuses without full air conditioning coverage.
• Winter freeze and ice events. Rare but hazardous — the region lacks the
  road de-icing equipment common in colder states, so even a light glaze of ice on
  overpasses and bridges (as in February 2021’s statewide winter storm) can force closures
  or delayed starts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How early does Conroe ISD announce school closures?

Conroe ISD aims to make closure and delay decisions as early as possible — often the
evening before a forecast severe-weather event, or by early morning for fast-developing
situations like flash flooding. Decisions are posted to the district website and pushed to
families through SchoolMessenger text and voice alerts.

Is there a difference between a “closure” and a “delay” in Conroe ISD?

Yes. A closure means all campuses in the district are closed for the day with no
in-person instruction. A delayed start pushes the morning bell back by a set amount of time
(commonly one to two hours) to let roads clear or flooding recede, with campuses dismissing
at the normal time. Early dismissal means school opens normally but releases students
earlier than usual because conditions are expected to worsen during the day.

Do all schools in the Conroe area close at the same time?

Within a single district, campuses typically close, delay, or dismiss together as one
decision from the superintendent. However, this page tracks five separate school districts
serving the Conroe area — Conroe ISD, New Caney ISD, Magnolia ISD, Montgomery ISD, and
Willis ISD — and each district makes its own independent decision, so it is common for one
district to close while a neighboring district stays open.

Which local TV stations report Conroe school closings?

KPRC 2 (NBC), KHOU 11 (CBS), and ABC13 KTRK are the Houston-market TV stations that most
frequently report Conroe and Montgomery County school closings, alongside each district’s
own official website and SchoolMessenger alerts. This page automatically monitors all of
these sources together.

How often is this page updated?

Status checks run automatically every 15 minutes under normal conditions, or every 5
minutes during active weather alerts, so the information here should closely track what
each district has posted.

What time do Conroe ISD schools start?

Conroe High School’s regular class schedule runs from 7:15 a.m. to 2:35 p.m., which is
the reference start time used for the countdown on this page. Individual campuses —
especially elementary and intermediate schools — may run on a different bell schedule; check
your specific campus for its exact start time.
