Buses are running today as per Policy EEB 10.  However, if the buses are not running in the morning, due to temperature they do not run in the afternoon. Therefore, if you drive your child to school please ensure they have a ride home.

It is parent responsibility to notify the schools when their children are absent due to bus cancellations.  Please call your child's school so they know to expect them or not on inclement weather days.  You can find the school's phone number on this website.  Thank you for your assistance.

Please ensure that students wear/carry with them appropriate winter attire while riding the bus during the winter months.

Please refer to Policy and Administrative Procedures EEB 10 Inclement Weather.  They are posted on this website.
