Wednesday February 25, 2026 - Westside Secondary School remains OPEN for student learning today.
Due to weather and road conditions, transportation services have been cancelled in Dufferin County.
Every day counts towards their success and when students are able to attend on days when buses are cancelled, they stay on track with coursework and benefit from small group work and extra support.
If travel is safe for your family, please consider arranging a ride, carpooling, or walking when possible.
Thank you for helping support your child’s learning and success. Stay safe, and have a great day.
