Laramie County School District 1

⏳ Checking…

High-desert basin with frequent blizzards and intense wind events. Rural bus routes rely heavily on WYDOT highway conditions. KCWY News 13 is the leading local TV source.

Natrona County School District 1

⏳ Checking…

Home of the University of Wyoming at 7,165 ft — more snow and more frequent closures than lower-elevation Wyoming cities. I-80 between Laramie and Cheyenne is one of the nation's most frequently closed highway segments. The Laramie Boomerang and KGWN cover regional closings.

Albany County School District 1

⏳ Checking…

Powder River Basin energy corridor — Arctic air masses push wind chill values well below -30°F, closing schools independent of snowfall totals. KGWC and local radio serve the region for closings notifications.

Campbell County School District

⏳ Checking…

Sweetwater County districts serve the Rock Springs and Green River communities in Wyoming's southwestern energy region. WYDOT closures on I-80 and US-191 directly affect rural bus routes. Wyoming Public Schools covers statewide closings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Check the live district status table above for real-time closures. Most Wyoming superintendents aim to announce by 5:30 AM. For major blizzard events, announcements can come as early as the night before.

Sign up for your district's automated notification system — most Wyoming districts use ParentSquare or SchoolMessenger to push closures by robocall, text, and email. You can also monitor KCWY News 13, Wyoming Public Schools, and the Wyoming Tribune Eagle for real-time closings coverage.

Most Wyoming superintendents aim to decide by 5:30–6:00 AM. In severe blizzard conditions, decisions may come the night before — especially in rural districts where bus routes depend on state highway conditions.

Wyoming districts handle this at the local level. Many larger districts have adopted Asynchronous Learning Day policies that allow students to complete work online instead of making up the day at the end of the year. Check your specific district's parent portal for their current policy.

Yes. Wyoming is one of the windiest states in the nation. Wind gusts exceeding 60–70 mph on I-80 and other major corridors can make bus travel hazardous, prompting closures even on days without snow.

Blizzards and heavy snowfall are the primary cause, followed by extreme wind (especially along the I-80 corridor), dangerous wind chill values, and road closures issued by WYDOT on state highways that bus routes depend on.

How Decisions Are Made

Check the latest Wyoming school closings, delays, and cancellations today. This page monitors real-time announcements from school districts across Wyoming — including Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie, Gillette, and Rock Springs. Most Wyoming districts aim to post closure decisions by 5:30 AM on affected days.

School closures in Wyoming are most often triggered by blizzards and heavy snowfall, extreme wind (gusts along the I-80 corridor regularly exceed 60 mph), dangerous wind chill values, and WYDOT road closures affecting rural bus routes. District superintendents coordinate closely with the Wyoming Department of Transportation and the National Weather Service offices in Cheyenne and Riverton before making closure decisions.

Wyoming school districts handle snow days at the local level — many larger districts have adopted Asynchronous Learning Day policies that allow students to complete coursework online rather than extending the school year. Check your district's parent portal (typically PowerSchool or ParentSquare) to confirm whether a closure day counts as a make-up day or an Asynchronous Day.
