Due to the extreme cold temperatures and in the interest of safety, all school transportation is cancelled today for all Boards. Schools will remain open.
Parents are reminded to ensure that students are dressed properly for the weather.
Please note that secondary exams scheduled for today will be rescheduled. Please confirm date with your school.
Brrr
If buses are canceled in the interest of safety.
shouldn’t school be canceled aswell?
Kristopher Burghout when I was a kid, I lived right by the school, and when this happened, I had the choice to go or bot go on the days buses are cancelled. On the days I went, it was one big play day in the school and the kids lived it. Some kids had to go to school cause they were too young to stay home and their parents worked.
I notice that this is not the first time parents are crying “close the schools!” Every few days this year when there’s a snow squall or there’s temps over -20C, people are saying “CLOSE THE SCHOOLS!”
What a bunch of snowflakes you are. Previous generations survived JUST FINE walking to school in these temperatures. I still walk to work in this. I still walk to work when the sidewalks aren’t plowed. It’s called “bundling up.” Hats, mitts, scarf…..
How about to satisfy these so-called “parents,” we close the schools during the ENTIRE WINTER? Education clearly isn’t important!
Matthew Frank Kot dressing to conditions. I work outside all winter in minutes 40 plus. Not a big deal but you can’t be in shorts and flip flops
Well rocket scientist all the buses are cancelled so how ar the kids suppose to get to school ? Let’s sent sum 5 year olds out in minus forty and wish them well .
I totally agree with this comment, when I was a kid school was never cancelled because it is cold
Schools back then were walking distance not like today because they all closed down
Jessi Matthews weather was never this cold when I went to school, not to this extreme anyhow.
Matthew Frank Kot its got nothing to do with being a snowflake. These temperatures are extreme and not all kids are fortunate to have the proper outwear nor the realization their skin could be frozen. I’ve seen kids coming in with white skin in warmer temperatures.
Havent you forgot? This generation barley wears any clothes.
white pines has cancelled classes
only exams
its exam week
Exams are cancelled at all Secondary schools and are being rescheduled for a later date. Check with schools to see when that will be.

Wish Sault College would close LOL
so make the kids walk in this instead of closing the schools also, ?? makes sense to me.. not
Linda Assiginack This is just to let parents know that there is no buses, some parents will still drive their children to school. I doubt they expect children to walk in this weather.
Linda Assiginack if you choose to make the kids walk, you’re a dumbass. If they kept the buses going today, many would be standing out freezing their asses off, cuz the buses or any diesel or hydraulic equipment don’t like it this cold. Drivers are ready to go, buses won’t go.
most parents drive their children despite the buses closing.
D’Arcy Bartlett Oh I totally agree. There’s no reason in hell either should be out there. They should just cancel school. I’ll reword my comment.. I drove bus before I kowmore then half won’t start.. My point was they need to just CLOSE the schools all in all
Linda Assiginack if they close the schools they will get people complaining they have no one to watch their kids as they have to work. its loose loose for the schoolboard
D’Arcy Bartlett I’ve run equipment in minus 45 regularly. It works fine
Donna Boyer Briglio yes I reworded my comment as to what I meant by it
Mark Fluter my concern is the kids who don’t have proper wear and such. and being a parent you need to have back up for days they do close for whatever reason. parenting 101. you have a kid, you know this
Marty Frost your a lucky one, my bus ran last week, but many didn’t, anything below -20, they’re nothing more than a walk in freezer,
Unfortunately not everyone has the option of an alternative. Any parent with a brain would not expect their child to walk in this weather.
Linda Assiginack Thank you! and not only do they not start they are prone to breaking down in this weather! Leaving those kids stranded on a COLD bus, because they don’t warm up and have poor heating systems, for way too long in this weather. If you have a car drive your child. If you don’t then arrange for them to stay home with someone or you stay home as well. What they should be doing is calling off the busses the night before so parents have time to make these arrangements.
Schools are not babysitters
