We don’t keep our own closings list, because a list copied from someone else can be wrong by the time you read it. The fastest, most reliable sources are your district’s own text, call and email alerts and its website, then the TV closings lists that districts report to directly. Below are those links by city. Links checked Nov. 10, 2026, 5 a.m. ET.

How to check on a storm morning

  1. Read your district’s text, call or email alert. Make sure your number and email are current in your district’s parent portal; that is how most districts announce first.
  2. Check your district’s website or its official social accounts for delays, early dismissals and virtual-day plans.
  3. Use a TV station’s closings list for nearby districts, private schools, colleges and day cares.
  4. Check the National Weather Service office for your area before you drive, and the state road map below.
