Dear parents and guardians,

Please see below for updates to safe access to our school during the construction in Hillsburgh as we prepare for the first day of school on Tuesday, Sept 5th. 2023

The Transportation Consortium is working diligently to ensure that buses have safe access to our school during the construction and we recognize that there may be some delays during the construction process. We will keep families updated and informed should there be significant changes to the timing of routes.  

For pedestrian traffic including students walking to school, please ensure that you review the status of your walking route to school regularly. As construction progresses updates will also be provided to advise of any routes that may be temporarily inaccessible. 

The following link provides updated information on the status of the project and road closures:

More information for Ross R MacKay:  

  • Bus Access: Buses have open access to the school site during construction. 
  • Pedestrian Access: Sidewalk access on the west side of Trafalgar Road only
  • Car Drop Off: Parents who are driving students to school will need to park at the Hillsburgh Arena (5 min walk from the north) or the Esso gas station (2 min walk from the south) and walk their children to the school using the sidewalk on the west side of Trafalgar Road only. Please be sure to regularly  review changes to road closures on the community websites below.
