Georgia School Closings

As weather patterns shift across the Peach State, staying informed about school schedules is a top priority for Georgia families.

Where to Find Live Updates

Georgia school districts typically announce schedule changes by 6:00 AM. For the most accurate and immediate information, utilize these primary resources:

1. Local News Outlets

Major news stations in Atlanta, Macon, and Savannah maintain live trackers that update automatically as soon as a superintendent makes a decision:

• WSB-TV (Channel 2): Known for the most comprehensive list for Metro Atlanta and North Georgia.

• FOX 5 Atlanta: Features a searchable “Closings” dashboard.

• 11Alive (WXIA): Provides text alerts and a live weather ticker during morning broadcasts.

• 13WMAZ: The primary source for Central Georgia school status.

2. Official District Platforms

To avoid confusion, always verify a closure through the district’s official channels:

• Mass Notification Systems: Most districts (like Gwinnett County Public Schools) use ParentSquare, Infinite Campus, or SMS alerts to notify parents directly.

• Social Media: Follow your district’s official Facebook or X (formerly Twitter) account.

• Website Tickers: Look for a red banner or pop-up on the school district’s homepage.

How Decisions are Made in Georgia

The decision to close or delay school is a complex process led by the District Superintendent in coordination with the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) and the National Weather Service.

Pro Tip: If your district announces a “2-Hour Delay,” remember that bus pickup times are also shifted exactly two hours later. Afternoon dismissal typically remains at the normal time unless otherwise specified.
