Inclement Weather Procedures

Dear Parents and/or Guardians,

Winter has arrived! We will follow inclement weather routines established at the 2018 October Catholic School Council meeting:

Temperature and/or wind chill of -20 C or colder Indoor Routine
Temperature with wind chill -18 to -20 C Outdoor routine shortened to 20 minutes (20 minutes indoors, 20 minutes outdoors). Administration’s discretion on shorter recesses
-15 to -17 C Outdoor Routine

Please check local radio and television stations, the school board and school’s website, as well as YCDSB Twitter, or Student Transportation Services School Bus Information Line at 1-877-330-3001 to find out if transportation services are not operating due to severe inclement weather.

If your child is absent on an inclement weather day, please remember that you still need to call into the school to report your child’s absence. You can call the school’s Safe Arrival line to report their absence.

Before and After Programs in schools make every effort to remain open in inclement weather. However the decision to open or to close early is up to the discretion of the Child Care Operator.
