The health and safety of all students is a high priority. Inclement weather may occasionally result in a delay or cancellation of transportation services or the early dismissal or closure of schools. To minimize the disruption of service and possible danger on such days, the Lambton Kent District School Board has adopted an Inclement Weather Policy.

The decision to cancel transportation services shall be made prior to 6:30AM and broadcast on radio stations and at www.schoolbusinfo.com. When transportation services are cancelled, schools remain open unless otherwise deemed necessary by the Director of Education.

Weather conditions may require cancellations in specific zones only. There are eight zones within the region of Lambton County and Chatham-Kent. The zone number(s) will be broadcast on radio stations and website with specific instructions. Schools names will NOT be a portion of radio announcements.

Our school is in ZONE 1.

Buses cancelled due to fog in the morning will run in the afternoon to transport students who have been dropped off at school.

Buses cancelled due to snow conditions in the morning will NOT run in the afternoon. Bussed students who receive a ride to school must also be picked up at the end of the classes on a day buses have been cancelled due to snow.

Early dismissal will occur only in extreme circumstances. The decision to have students transported home early will be announced over the radio stations. Parents/guardians (or alternate emergency contacts) will be contacted. If no contact can be made after busses leave, the student will remain at school until parents have been contacted and they have made arrangements to pick up their children. Adequate staff will remain at the school to provide supervision.
Announcements are made on:

• CHOK (1070 AM)
• K106.3 (106.3 FM)
• Fox FM (99.9 FM)
