Potential Bus Cancellations & Exam Schedule Plan for Monday, January 26
Lambton Kent District School Board
We are currently monitoring a weather system, as reported by Environment Canada, that is projected to bring significant snowfall to the Sarnia-Lambton and Chatham-Kent regions on Sunday, January 25, 2026, with the potential to continue into Monday, January 26, 2026. To support students, families, and staff in planning ahead, the LKDSB is proactively sharing our exam-continuity plan should school buses be cancelled anywhere in the district on Monday, January 26.
Please note: Decisions will NOT be made on a school‑by‑school basis.
If buses are cancelled in any zone within the LKDSB, the entire district will follow the same plan outlined below.
Decision Timing
The decision regarding bus cancellations will be made early Monday morning in collaboration with CLASS Student Transportation Services, our transportation partners.
The outcome will be communicated to all families and staff as soon as it is confirmed.
If Buses Are Cancelled on Monday, January 26, Period A exams will take place on Tuesday, January 27.
The schedule for the remaining Period B, C, and D exams will be shared with all staff, students and families in the afternoon of Monday, January 26th.
We recognize the challenges this may cause and sincerely appreciate the flexibility and readiness of students, families, and staff to adjust as needed during weather‑related disruptions.
Student and staff safety remains our top priority. By sharing this information in advance, we aim to provide families and schools with clear expectations and adequate time to prepare for either scenario.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Building Skills and Community Connections! 🔨🚜
Our senior Construction class is doing more than just following a curriculum—they’re learning the power of networking and real-world application.
The students recently tackled a problem-solving challenge: designing a small-scale well water pumphouse in partners and then scaled this design up into a full-size build, which was officially delivered to a local farmer today! 🏠💧
We are so proud of these students for connecting their classroom skills to everyday life and supporting our local agricultural community. 🛠️

Students from Mr. O'Neil's Standing Bear, Entrepreneurship classes, and Future Elders groups led by Tyler White, Robin Isaac, and Ms. Jacobs participated in a multi-location field trip to enrich their understanding of marketing, leadership, and First Nations, Métis, Inuit art and culture. The trip included visits to the ROM and AGO to study art and culture, the Eaton Centre for market analysis, and Activate for a series of immersive leadership and team building experiences.
The Raising Healthy Children class has been learning about the value of reading with children. We went to The Family Centre to experience it firsthand. The little ones were thrilled to have the teens visit.
