Current School Closings and Delays Status

How to Access the WXOW Closing List

WXOW 19 provides multiple ways to check if your school is affected. The list is updated the moment a superintendent notifies the station.

1. The Online Closing Dashboard

The most comprehensive resource is the WXOW School Closings & Delays page. This page features an alphabetized list that includes:

K-12 Public and Private Schools
Daycare Centers
Colleges and Technical Schools (UWL, Viterbo, Western TC)
Senior Centers and Community Programs

2. The News 19 Mobile App

For parents on the go, the WXOW News 19 App allows you to set up push notifications. You can receive an alert the second your specific district makes an announcement, often before the morning news even begins.

3. On-Air “Crawl”

During the Daybreak morning news and evening broadcasts, look for the scrolling text at the bottom of your screen. This “crawl” cycles through all active delays and cancellations.

Common Status Definitions

When viewing the list on WXOW, you may see the following terms:

Status	Impact on Schedule
2-Hour Delay	Classes and bus routes start exactly 2 hours after the normal time. No morning 4K/Preschool.
Closed	No school for students. Check if it is a “Traditional Snow Day” or a “Virtual Learning Day.”
Early Release	Students are sent home early to avoid deteriorating afternoon road conditions.
No Evening Activities	School is held, but all sports, concerts, and practices are canceled.

Pro Tip: Always check if a “Closed” status also applies to the district’s administrative offices, as this can affect whether staff are required to report.
