Dear TCDSB Community,

Due to freezing rain and icy road conditions expected today, all school buses are cancelled. Schools will remain open.

Families who choose to drive students to school are encouraged to allow extra travel time and ensure students are dressed appropriately for the weather.

As outlined in TCDSB’s Inclement Weather Protocol, severe weather can pose safety risks, making it necessary to cancel student transportation. We also recognize that this decision may pose challenges for staff and families.

We understand that many families rely on bus transportation and that alternate travel arrangements may not always be possible. If your child is staying home today, kindly log their absence in SchoolMessenger.

Families are encouraged to follow our social media channels and website for inclement weather updates.

We thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Toronto Catholic District School Board
