Common Cancellation Terms

In the Red River Valley, weather responses can vary. Here is a guide to the terms you’ll see on the KFGO list:

Term	Action Required
2-Hour Delay	School starts 2 hours late; buses run 2 hours late. No morning pre-school or breakfast.
E-Learning / Virtual Day	Buildings are closed, but students must log in for remote instruction from home.
Closed / No E-Learning	A traditional “snow day.” No instruction is required, and all activities are canceled.
Early Out	School ends earlier than scheduled (e.g., 1:30 PM) to get students home before weather worsens.

The “Storm Center” Protocol

When a major winter storm is forecasted, KFGO activates its Storm Center. This involves dedicated news and weather staff monitoring the National Weather Service in Grand Forks and communicating directly with local superintendents. Decisions for most Fargo-Moorhead schools are typically announced by 6:00 AM to give parents time to make arrangements.

Parent Tip: Even if school is open, superintendents often emphasize that the final decision rests with the parent. If you feel road conditions in your specific neighborhood are unsafe for your child, most districts treat these as excused absences.
