December News Update
Transportation
and Weather Information
Dear
Parents/Guardians,
With
the approach of winter, we would like to inform you of important rules to
follow in the event of a school closure due to bad weather. The recommendation
to close schools/centers before the start of the school day shall be made by the
Director General and his team of Senior Administrators responsible for
transportation. Once the decision to close is made, the Board will immediately
contact the media to announce the closure. If
no announcement is made, it means that the school will be open as usual. We
invite you to visit the School Board Website and Knowlton Academy Website when
possible to find more information.
Storm Days and
Transportation services:
In
the case of inclement weather, parents may choose to keep their children at
home. When safety is at risk, the bus driver may decide not to complete certain
parts of the bus route. Measures will be
taken to notify parents concerned, when possible. In the case of the
cancellation of transportation services due to weather conditions or for any
other reason, an announcement will be made on the following radio stations
between 6:30 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. or at other times during the day if school
buses must leave early:

We are presently working on
Emergency Phone Chain per classroom, so that parents can be contacted quickly
by other parents in case of an emergency school closing while already at
school. These classroom telephone chains should follow soon.
Daycare:
Our
Daycare Team would like to let you know that in the event of bad weather
conditions, daycare will not be open.
In
closing, I would like to remind parents to dress their children properly for
our winter weather. The cycle 1 and
cycle 2 students are required to wear snow pants at all times for outdoor play.
Enjoy the winter and all it has to offer.
Happy
Sincerely,
Nathalie
Chartrand
Principal
