Stay informed: Your WPS Notification Options
We're committed to bringing our community members the information they need when they need it! In the event that school must be delayed or closed due to severe weather or an emergency situation, we rely on multiple outlets to give our families options. See below for the most current ways to stay informed.

Closing, Delay & Remote Learning Day Information
Adverse weather conditions or other emergencies may require that schools participate in remote learning, be closed, be delayed, or be dismissed early. If announcements are not made via the channels below, buses will run routes on a regular schedule and schools will open at their normal times.

Learn more about the winter weather decision-making process.

Our mobile app is the best way to receive emergency and weather-related notifications about your school. On your iOS or Android device, simply download our official Buncombe County Schools app, enabling "push notifications." There is no login or password to remember, and you can subscribe to each of your schools. These push notifications are only used for emergency and weather-related information.

To find or verify a school weather/safety decision, visit our district website at WindsorPublicSchools.org and look for the alert window to appear at the top of the page. (When minimized, an alert button is shown in the lower right.)
