| | Vermont | No Comments

When winter weather impacts the Champlain Valley and the North Country, Local 22 (WVNY) and Local 44 (WFFF) serve as the go-to resources for school closings and delays in Vermont and Northern New York.

Current School Closings and Delays Status

How to Stay Informed

Local 22 and Local 44 provide multiple ways to track school status:

1. The On-Air Ticker

During “Local 22 News First at 6 AM” and “Local 44 News at 7 AM,” a scrolling ticker at the bottom of your screen will list districts alphabetically by state (VT followed by NY).

2. Mobile Alerts

You can set up custom push notifications through the MyChamplainValley app. This is often the fastest way to learn if your specific district has called for a “2-Hour Delay” or a full “Snow Day.”

3. Online Searchable Database

The stations maintain a comprehensive online list that includes:

Public and Private Schools
Colleges and Universities (e.g., UVM, SUNY Plattsburgh)
Childcare Centers and Preschools
Government Offices and Senior Centers

Common Closure Types

Superintendents in the Champlain Valley typically make their final decisions by 5:30 AM. Here is what the different labels mean:

Status	Impact on Students
2-Hour Delay	School starts 2 hours later than usual. Buses run 2 hours late. No AM Kindergarten/Pre-K.
Closed	All classes and school-sponsored activities are canceled for the day.
Early Dismissal	School ends early due to deteriorating midday conditions. Check for specific times.
Remote Learning Day	Physical buildings are closed, but students are expected to log in for “Snow Day” instruction.

Tips for Parents

Refresh Often: During high-traffic morning hours, the online list may update every few minutes.
Check After-School Status: Even if school is open, “No After-School Activities” may be posted later in the afternoon if conditions worsen.
Prepare for “Cold Days”: In the North Country, schools may close not just for snow, but for extreme wind chill (typically below $-25^{\circ}F$ ) to protect students waiting for buses.
