These frosty
mornings remind us that snowy weather isn’t far off, and so we want to take
this time to send winter weather reminders for bus families. Although schools remain open during winter
weather events, bus service may occasionally have to be cancelled for the day
if road conditions are considered too dangerous due to snow or icy
conditions. Announcements regarding bus
delays or cancellations are made via local radio stations on the affected day. Diversified Transportation has a parent
messaging service that can be subscribed to on their website: www.diversifiedbus.ca
Please ensure
children are dressed for the weather; frostbite of exposed skin can occur in a
very short time. Students are not
expected to wait for a bus more than 15 minutes past the scheduled pick-up
time. If the bus has not arrived by that
time, they should return home or to a prearranged place of shelter. The decision to keep a student home for the
day due to winter weather conditions shall be made by a parent/guardian.
