Questions

Does it cost anything?

No. The Morning Porch is free, like the rest of Frankly WV.

Do I have to join the site?

No. Anybody can get the email. If you’re a member, you can switch it on from here or from Your Porch without confirming your address again.

How do I stop it?

Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link at the bottom. Members can also turn it off on Your Porch.

Will you sell or share my email?

Never. We use it to send you the Morning Porch (and anything else you asked for), and that’s it. The details are in our privacy policy.

Where do the school delays come from?

They come from what the school systems announce. We post them as fast as we can, but always double-check with your school system before you load up the car.

Can I just read it on the website?

Sure. Today’s porch is always at The Morning Porch, and it updates through the morning.
