FOX2now Latest School Closings and Delays

When winter weather or emergencies strike the Bi-State area, FOX 2 (KTVI) is the go-to resource for parents and educators across Missouri and Illinois. Their “School Watch” system provides real-time updates on school closings, delayed starts, and early dismissals.

Current School Closings and Delays Status


How to Access the FOX 2 School Watch List

FOX 2 offers several ways to stay informed so you never miss a notification:

  1. FOX2now.com Closings Page: The most comprehensive resource is the FOX 2 Closings & Delays dashboard. It features a searchable database of schools, daycares, and businesses.

  2. The FOX 2 Mobile App: Available for iOS and Android, the app allows you to set custom alerts for breaking news and weather-related closures.

  3. On-Air Ticker: During FOX 2 News in the Morning, look for the “School Watch” ticker scrolling at the bottom of your screen.

    Note: Due to time constraints, only schools are typically shown on the TV ticker. For a full list of church, business, and daycare closings, you must check the website or app.


Common FOX 2 Status Definitions

Superintendents in the St. Louis metro area use specific terms to communicate their plans:

Status Meaning
Closed The school building is shut down. No classes or extracurriculars.
AMI Day (Alternative Methods of Instruction) The physical building is closed, but students are expected to participate in remote/virtual learning.
Snow Schedule / 2-Hour Delay School begins two hours later than normal. This is common when ice needs time to melt off the roads.
Early Dismissal School ends earlier than scheduled to ensure students get home before a storm hits.

For Administrators

If you are a school official or business owner, you cannot report a closing via social media or phone calls. You must use the authorized ID and Password provided by the FOX 2 Newsroom to log into the automated reporting system.

Pro Tip: Bookmark the closings page on your phone now. When a major snowstorm hits, high traffic can slow down websites; having the direct link or the app ready ensures you get the information first.
