The Board believes that the responsibility of the safety of school bus passengers during periods of inclement weather or hazardous road conditions is shared by the Board, its staff, school bus operators and by parent/guardians.
The final decision to send a child to the bus stop or to school rests with the parents/guardians, even though buses and schools may be operational.
School bus service may be suspended at a temperature of minus forty (40) degrees Celsius, as determined by the Weather Network at Bon Accord, AB.
When buses are running on extremely cold days, we assemble students in the community entrance if their bus is arriving late or picks up late to ensure they are not standing in the cold.
We always watch the temperature very closely and review road conditions and weather conditions. The -40*C does not include wind chill.
Our school is always open to receive students.
