Current School Closings and Delays Status

How to Stay Updated with KUTV 2News

KUTV provides several tools to ensure you aren’t caught off guard by a 2-hour delay or a full closure:

1. The Real-Time Closing List

The most direct way to check is the KUTV School Closings Dashboard. This list is alphabetized and updated the moment a district or private school officially notifies the station.

2. The 2News Mobile App

By downloading the KUTV 2News app, you can set custom push notifications. If a major district like Alpine or Canyons announces a change, a notification is sent directly to your lock screen.

3. “2News Fresh Living” & Morning Broadcasts

During the morning news cycle (starting at 4:30 AM), watch for the scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen. Meteorologists will also provide “School Bus Forecasts” to let you know if kids need extra layers or umbrellas at the bus stop.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the “Call” Usually Made?

Most Utah superintendents aim to make a decision by 5:30 AM. This allows bus drivers and parents enough time to adjust their plans. If weather is severe enough, some districts may announce a “Remote Learning Day” the night before.

What is a “Two-Hour Delay”?

This means the school day begins exactly two hours later than the standard start time.

Example: If school usually starts at 8:00 AM, it will begin at 10:00 AM.
Buses: Pick-up times are also shifted exactly two hours later.
Breakfast: In many districts, breakfast is not served on delay days.

Closing vs. Remote Learning

In recent years, many Utah schools have shifted from “Snow Days” to “Remote Learning Days.” KUTV will specify if a school is Closed (no work) or Remote (students log in from home).

Pro-Tip for Parents

Check your district’s official social media pages in tandem with KUTV. While KUTV is the fastest broadcast source, districts often post specific details regarding after-school sports and extracurricular cancellations on their own feeds.
