Oshkosh Area School District Snow Day Predictor

When the call comes

By 6 a.m. or earlier if possible.

“Every effort will be made to make the decision whether to close schools by 6 a.m. or earlier if possible.”

How families hear

By email, phone call, text message, the district website, social media and local TV.

“When necessary, the District will send out messages via email, phone and text message to inform families of unexpected events and to communicate in the midst of an emergency (school closing due to extreme weather, lockdown situation, etc.)”

A 2 hour delay

On a delay morning every school starts 2 hours late.

“For grades K-12 and Head Start 4K: Buses will run exactly 2 hours later than their normal times and school will start exactly 2 hours later than the normal start time. Breakfast will not be served.”

2 built in snow days

On the 2026 to 2027 calendar, listed as “bad weather days ("traditional snow days")”.

“Bad Weather Days 1 and 2: In the event of bad weather, the District will use the first two bad weather days as "traditional snow days" for all schools (prek-12). There will be no digital learning for students.”

Virtual learning days

Oshkosh has virtual learning days in its winter plan.

“Bad Weather Days 3+: If there is a need for a third or more bad weather day: High Schools and Middle Schools: What: Will have digital learning days. Course content will be posted in Canvas by 9 a.m. that day.”

Making up a lost day

The first two days are absorbed into the calendar; from the third day, middle and high schools switch to digital learning.

“(NOTE: These two days can be absorbed into the calendar without needing to make up minutes of instruction.)”
