Weather Alerts
About Our Messages
As we now settle into the winter and upcoming spring weather season, Columbus Public Schools is improving its process for informing the community when weather requires an operational status change and when a closure of school may happen.
When it is determined that conditions are unsafe for students and staff, we have six operational status options, which will now be reported by easy-to-understand, color-coded messages.
These coded messages will be posted on our website and social media when status are changed. Only when upcoming weather conditions become apparent will the district change its status from green to another color.
Green - Normal operations will continue.
Orange - Schools and offices are open. Be watching for important information due to upcoming weather conditions.
Red - School and office schedules
have changed or are closed.
