Wondering About Weather?

[Información en Español] 

Parents and students have several ways to learn about weather-related school closures in Eugene: this website, text message alerts, KRVM-FM, and other local TV and radio stations.

If there is a change in the school schedule or bus routes due to inclement weather, Eugene School District 4J will announce that buses are on snow routes, that school is delayed two hours, or that school will be canceled.  If school is in session and on regular schedule, the district will NOT make an announcement. 

To ensure the most current weather conditions are assessed, weather-related school closure decisions normally are made early in the morning and announced by 6 a.m. or shortly thereafter.  These decisions are made districtwide and are the same for every 4J school. 

District-run radio station KRVM-FM 91.9 will air school closure information regularly. Other local radio and TV stations also will air closure information, although the district cannot guarantee the accuracy of the messages reported on those stations. Whenever possible, weather-related notices also will be posted on this website, www.4j.lane.edu, and sent to subscribers via text message alerts.

Students who ride school buses that sometimes use snow routes have been informed of what to do when snow routes are in effect. LTD buses may also be delayed or detoured when there is ice or snow on the ground; detour information will be posted on the LTD website, www.ltd.org, and publicized to local news media.

On any day when inclement weather is a concern and 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.

Sign Up for Text-Message Alerts

You can sign up for text-message alerts by following @4Jweather on Twitter and directing tweets to your mobile device. See below to learn how to sign up. This service is free, except for standard text messaging rates as determined by your cell phone plan.

It’s impossible to guarantee text message delivery 100% of the time, and your alert may be delayed or blocked — so if you are concerned about the weather and have not received an alert, it’s still a good idea to check the 4J website, radio or TV for information about closures, delays or snow routes.
