| | Oregon | No Comments

Staying informed about school closings and delays is a top priority for families in Western Oregon when winter weather strikes. KVAL News serves as the primary source for real-time updates for Eugene, Springfield, Corvallis, and surrounding Lane County districts.

Current School Closings and Delays Status

How to Access the KVAL Closing List

KVAL News updates its tracking system as soon as local superintendents make an official call. You can find the most current information through these official channels:

  • Online Closing Dashboard: The KVAL School Closures page provides a comprehensive, alphabetized list of districts, private schools, and daycare centers.

  • Mobile Alerts: Download the KVAL News App (available on iOS and Android) and enable “Weather” or “Breaking News” notifications to get alerts sent directly to your lock screen.

  • On-Air Updates: During “KVAL News This Morning,” look for the scrolling ticker at the bottom of your screen for a continuous loop of active delays and closures.

  • Social Media: KVAL frequently posts major district-wide announcements on their Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) feeds.

Understanding the Common Announcements

When a storm hits, you will likely see one of these three primary statuses on the KVAL ticker:

Status Meaning for Students & Staff
Closed No school for students. All after-school activities, including sports and clubs, are typically canceled.
2-Hour Delay School begins exactly two hours after the normal start time. Bus pickups and morning preschool sessions are also pushed back by two hours.
Snow Routes School is open, but buses will only pick up and drop off students at designated “emergency” stops to avoid dangerous hills or unplowed side streets.

“No News is Good News”

Most Western Oregon districts, including Eugene 4J, follow a “No news = No change” policy. If you do not see your school listed on the KVAL dashboard or receive a notification by 6:30 AM, you should assume school is starting at its regularly scheduled time.

Superintendents typically make the final call between 4:30 AM and 5:30 AM after scouting road conditions and consulting with local weather experts.

KVAL-TV, virtual and VHF digital channel 13, is a CBS-affiliated television station licensed to Eugene, Oregon, United States. The station is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group.-Wikipedia
