Log on to your school's website for weather-related cancellation information. Elementary, middle school, high school and higher education facilities will typically post school cancellations due to weather on the homepage of their website for easy access.
Visit school cancellation websites such as cancellations.com and type in your state and zip code to receive a list of the school cancellations up to a 50-mile radius. You can also utilize websites such as Inbox.com, which offers free down-loadable toolbars that supply information such as school closings, time estimates and weather forecasts.
Turn on the local TV news or weather channel and look for rotating banners at the bottom or side of the screen. Listings of school cancellations in the area will typically repeat until mid-morning if the cancellation occurs before the first bell. News stations will also make special alerts if school cancellations or early releases occur at any point during a school day.
Contact the school's student services or main office and ask if there is an existing contact or email list for school cancellation or other weather-related announcements. Include your full name and phone number to receive texts or provide your email address, depending on your school's contact plan.
