Inclement Weather Day Procedures

In the event of a large snowfall or icy precipitation that makes driving unsafe, the board may call for bus cancellations early before the start of the school day. These bus cancellations are communicated through local media outlets, the Student Transportation Services website, the Board’s website and Twitter account and on the Board and school’s voicemail recording.

Parents should use their best judgment to decide whether or not to send their child(ren) to school when buses are cancelled and schools remain open. 

In accordance with the Safe Arrivals and Departures policy and procedure, the school will not be following up on absences of students who are bussed on Board declared inclement weather days, and bus parents are responsible for making arrangements to have their child(ren) picked up at the end of the school day on days when school buses are cancelled in accordance with the school’s safe departures protocol.
