Oregon School Closings

Check the latest Oregon school closings, delays, and cancellations today. This page monitors real-time announcements from school districts across Oregon — including Portland, Salem, Eugene, Bend, and Medford. Most closures are announced by 5:30 AM, though major ice events in the Willamette Valley may bring announcements the night before.

School closures in Oregon are most frequently triggered by ice storms and freezing rain in the Willamette Valley, heavy snowfall in the Cascades and high desert, and wildfire smoke events during late summer and fall. District officials coordinate closely with the National Weather Service Portland, Medford, and Pendleton offices, as well as county Emergency Management Agencies, to make timely decisions that prioritize student and driver safety.

Many Oregon districts have adopted Inclement Weather Days or Remote Learning Days, allowing students to complete instruction online without losing a school day. Some districts also use these provisions for poor air quality days caused by wildfire smoke. Check your district's parent portal — through ParentSquare or School Messenger — to confirm your child's remote learning access and ensure your contact information is current for closure notifications.
