WMUR TV Latest School Closings and Delays

| | New Hampshire | No Comments

In the Granite State, winter weather can change school plans in an instant. For New Hampshire residents, WMUR-TV (Channel 9) is the definitive source for real-time information on school closings, delays, and early dismissals.

Current School Closings and Delays Status

How to Stay Informed via WMUR

WMUR provides four primary ways to track the status of your specific school district:

The Online Closing List: The most comprehensive tool is the WMUR School Closings page. It provides an alphabetized, searchable database of schools, businesses, and organizations.
WMUR App Alerts: You can download the WMUR App (iOS and Android) and customize your notifications. By selecting your specific “SAU” or town, you will receive a push notification the moment a change is announced.
On-Air Ticker: During News 9 morning broadcasts (starting at 4:30 AM), a constant ticker scrolls along the bottom of the screen with the latest updates.
uLocal Text Alerts: You can sign up for direct text alerts for specific districts, ensuring you get the news even if your power or internet is down.

Common Closing Scenarios

When checking the WMUR list, you will likely encounter these terms:

Status	Details
2-Hour Delay	School starts 120 minutes later than usual. Morning preschool is often canceled in this scenario.
Closed / No School	All classes and school-day activities are canceled.
Early Dismissal	Students are sent home several hours early; WMUR will list the specific dismissal times (e.g., “12:30 PM Release”).
Remote Learning Day	Physical buildings are closed, but students are expected to log in for “Blizzard Bag” or virtual instruction.

Pro-Tip: If your district announces a “2-Hour Delay,” keep checking back. If road conditions do not improve by 7:30 AM, many superintendents will “upgrade” the delay to a full closure.

Who Makes the Call?

The decision to close school is made by the local Superintendent, not WMUR. They typically make the final call by 5:30 AM after consulting with local road crews, police departments, and the WMUR Storm Watch 9 weather team to ensure the safety of bus routes and student walkers.

WMUR-TV, virtual and VHF digital channel 9, is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Manchester, New Hampshire, United States. The station is owned by the Hearst Television.-Wikipedia
