Sign up to get weather-related school closure alerts
When schools close or bus routes change due to hazardous winter weather, you want to know as quickly as possible. There are several ways to get the news on snowy or icy days:
- Text–message alerts via Twitter (go to www.4j.lane.edu/weather to learn how to sign up)
- 4J website, www.4j.lane.edu
- KRVM 91.9 FM
- Other radio and television news stations
If there is a change in the school schedule or bus routes due to inclement weather, Eugene School District 4J will announce the change. If school is in session and on regular schedule, the district will NOT make an announcement. Weather-related school closure decisions normally are made early in the morning and announced via all methods by 6:30 a.m. These decisions are made districtwide and are the same for every 4J school.
Parents of students who ride school buses that sometimes use snow routes have been informed of what to do when snow routes are in effect.
If school is in session, families are encouraged to consider road conditions in their areas and make their own decisions based on safety. Parents’ individual decisions about school attendance will be honored.
