Up-to-Date Emergency School Closure

School Closure
School closure information is relayed through the School Announcement Network to area radio and television stations and newspapers. School closure information also can be accessed on the Internet at http://flashalert.net.

You also can call the district’s Snow/Closure Info line at 360-313-1401, General Information at 360-313-1000, or the automated information line at 360-313-1234.

If schools are closed or dismissed early, after-school and evening activities also will be canceled. Community use of schools will be canceled only if schools are closed.

Radio & TV news
Should inclement weather or emergency situations necessitate closing schools, opening them late, or the use of altered bus routes, appropriate announcements are made by local media stations beginning at 6 a.m. If there is no announcement, the schools are open and on normal schedules.

Most radio stations and these television stations carry emergency school information: KGW - Channel 8, KOIN - Channel 6, KATU - Channel 2, KPTV - Channel 12. Cable Channel 28 carries news of Vancouver Public Schools.
