In case of poor weather, the decision to close schools and/or cancel buses is communicated to parents beginning at 6:30 a.m. It is always a parent’s decision whether to send their child to school on inclement weather days. Since communication is key in alerting families to the status of school operations and busing, we use a variety of methods to communicate this important information including: Primary Methods of Communication
Email messages on Inclement Weather DaysThe Home Notification System will email the parents of approximately 60,000 students (between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m.). Parents are reminded there are several reasons these emails could be delayed, including limitations parent’s Internet Service Provider (ISP) receiving our messages, spam protection, as well as other GTA school boards sending messages that morning. For this reason the Home Notification System is supplementary to TV, radio, website and social media.  Reminders for Bus RidersWhen bus transportation is cancelled, it is cancelled for the entire day. Parents who bring their children to school when buses are cancelled, must make arrangements to pick them up at dismissal time.
What happens when schools close and/or buses cancelled during high school exam period?Each secondary school will provide instructions in advance to students/parents/guardians regarding what to do in the event of a school closure or transportation cancellation during the secondary school exam period. This information will be posted on high school websites and it is also available here. |
