FOX6 News Latest School Closings and Delays

| | Wisconsin | No Comments

When winter weather strikes Southeast Wisconsin, families across Milwaukee and surrounding counties turn to FOX6 News WITI for the most reliable, up-to-the-minute information on school closings and delays.

The FOX6 Storm Center serves as the primary hub for monitoring road conditions, snow totals, and the official status of hundreds of local districts.

Current School Closings and Delays Status

How to Access the FOX6 Closing List

The FOX6 Storm Center updates its database in real-time as superintendents report changes. You can find the latest list through these official channels:

  1. FOX6Now.com Closings Page: The most comprehensive way to view the list. It is alphabetized by county (e.g., Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Washington).

  2. FOX6 Storm Center App: This free app allows you to set custom alerts for your specific school district. You will receive a push notification the moment a “Closed” or “Delayed” status is entered.

  3. The Morning News Ticker: Watch FOX6 News WakeUp starting at 4:30 AM for the scrolling ticker at the bottom of your screen.

Understanding the FOX6 Status Codes

Schools generally report one of four statuses to the FOX6 Storm Center:

Status Instruction for Families
Closed No classes; often includes the cancellation of all evening sports and extracurriculars.
2-Hour Delay School starts two hours later than normal. Morning bus routes are also pushed back by two hours.
Early Release Used when weather worsens during the day; check your email for specific pickup times.
Virtual Learning Day The physical building is closed, but students are expected to log in for remote instruction.

The “Cold” Factor

In Wisconsin, schools don’t just close for snow. FOX6 tracks “Wind Chill Warnings.” Typically, if wind chills are forecasted to reach -35°F, many Milwaukee-area superintendents will call for a closure to protect students waiting at bus stops.

Pro Tip: Keep the FOX6 Storm Center Hotline (414-586-2799) saved if you are a school administrator needing to report a status change, but parents should stick to the app and website for the fastest updates.
