On many snowy days, school remains in session. However, it is occasionally necessary for safety reasons to schedule a late opening or to close for the day. Childcare is open from 7 a.m. through 6 p.m. when classes close, except when there is a state-wide or area closing due to extremely treacherous roads.
AlertNow
In the unlikely event of a school closing, WMS will activate the AlertNow emergency communication system. AlertNow, our first and primary method of disseminating closing information, allows WMS administration to quickly send out phone messages and emails announcing any closing or schedule change. Please contact lori_oberly@wmsde.org to update your contact information for AlertNow. You may include multiple phone numbers/email addresses if you wish for these communications to be sent to more than one location.

Local radio stations (and websites) typically also broadcast closing announcements for WMS. See the station links below for more information.
