Bus Cancellations and School Closures

Inclement Weather

During the winter months, the decision to cancel transportation and delay or close school is made based on information from other Boards, the local police, road crews, and weather alerts monitored by our Transportation Supervisor. As soon as a decision is made, local media is contacted.

Announcements regarding the cancellation of school buses and special vehicle transportation will be broadcast starting at 6:00 AM on the local radio station. Winter weather conditions can change rapidly. For that reason, in case of inclement weather, you are requested to listen to your local radio station. CKON 97.3 FM. Cancellations or delays will also be broadcasted through the SMS/Text sharing application.

Our Website will also be updated, and for those who have provided the schools with a current cell number, an automated text message or phone call will be sent with the details of the delay/closure.

On days when bus transportation has been canceled, but the schools remain open, parents will be responsible for transporting their children to and from school.

When picking up at the end of the day, parents are required to come to the school office to sign out their child. Students will not be allowed to leave with anyone other than their parent or guardian or those designated on the emergency list, unless a written note by the parent is received that day. A student may be released to either parent unless a custodial parent supplies the Principal with a copy of a court order.
