Please check in your child’s agenda for the radio and television stations that will be announcing school bus cancellations. This usually happens between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. Before you make other arrangements to take you child to school when the busses have been cancelled, please consider the following:
- Teachers will adjust the day’s program based on the fact that a number of students are not in attendance
- There are no teachers on supervision duty until 8:15
- If the busses are cancelled in the morning, they are also cancelled in the afternoon
- Having more cars on the side streets and picking up and dropping off students when driving conditions are difficult may make it more dangerous for all our students
- Walking conditions are also often more difficult on the days that the busses are cancelled
Remember, even if a child walks to school, it is always the parent’s decision to determine whether or not the conditions on snow days are such that any type of travel is unsafe. As well, on any winter day be sure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather and to be outside for gym and recess.
