Understanding the Alerts

When a district reports a change to WYFF, it will usually fall into one of these categories:

Alert Type	Impact on Students
2-Hour Delay	School and buses start exactly two hours late. No breakfast is served in most districts (e.g., Greenville County).
eLearning Day	School buildings are closed, but students are expected to log on and complete assignments remotely.
Closed	All schools and offices are closed; typically, all extracurricular activities and sports are also canceled.
Early Dismissal	Students are released several hours early to ensure buses can complete routes before weather worsens.

Important Safety Reminders

Greenville County Schools and other local districts typically aim to make a final decision by 6:00 AM on the day of the weather event.

Tip: If a 2-hour delay is called, remember that students are generally not supervised until approximately 45 minutes before the new start time. For example, if the tardy bell rings at 10:00 AM, do not drop off students before 9:15 AM.
