Good afternoon,
Please be aware of important changes to bus cancellation days and emergency closure days (e.g. power outages, weather closure days formerly known as “System Shutdown”) for the 2020-21 school year.
Important changes for the 2020-21 school year:
- Bus cancellation days in elementary: On no–bus days in Divisions 1 and 2, elementary schools in those divisions will be open to students as usual.
- Emergency closure days: When schools are closed to both students and staff (e.g. power outages, weather closures formerly known as “System Shutdown”), students will pivot to remote learning for the day and will be supported by their teachers. Staff will pivot to remote working, where possible.
Please know that the reasons for these changes are due to COVID-19 restrictions and protocols. For full details on why these changes are in place this year, please review the information in the attached letter or on the board website, which will be updated this afternoon at https://www.ugdsb.ca/schools/inclement-weather-procedures/.
