On behalf of Severe Weather Team 11, we would like to welcome you to our closing system. We look forward to working with you again to provide your parents and students with the most immediate, accurate information about your schools’ status during inclement weather.

As you know, we use an automated system in order to give you direct access to the system without the need to work through operators on our end. This speeds up the process of getting the information to air and puts you in charge.

There are two ways to access the system.

YOU MUST HAVE YOUR ID NUMBER AND PASSWORD TO ACCESS EITHER SYSTEM.

First, you can manually enter your closing by using our automated online system (Web address provided to administrators).

Or you can dial (412) 237-1313 on a touchtone phone, following the recorded instructions to close, delay or reopen your facilities.

Enter the code most closely associated with your status: Please refer to the mailing that WPXI sent you as per your request.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR ID/PASSWORD OR HOW TO ACCESS THE SYSTEM, PLEASE CONTACT US AT (412) 237-1101.

To serve you better, we are asking you to provide us the email addresses of your school superintendent and primary severe weather contact.

We will use this information to send out messages several days in advance of the storm, advising you of our meteorologists’ forecasts of severe weather.

Please be aware that daycare closings will only be posted on our website, not on WPXI-TV.

Thank you for participating. We look forward to serving you.
