| Bus cancellation information in case of inclement weather | http://por.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/board-news/20 | Bus cancellation information in case of inclement weather | <p>Although fall has just arrived, winter is just around the corner in Simcoe County. With it comes the possibility of severe weather, challenging winter driving conditions and, as a result, possible bus and school event cancellations. </p><p>All information regarding cancelled buses in Simcoe County is posted on the Simcoe County Student Transportation Consortium's bus information website at <a href="http://www.simcoecountyschoolbus.ca/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">www.simcoecountyschoolbus.ca</span></a>. Check our <a href="/about-us/transportation">Transportation</a> page to see which zone our school is in. When buses are cancelled, please remember that schools are still open (unless otherwise noted) for student learning. </p><p>The Consortium, in conjunction with bus operators, will make the decision to cancel school buses before 6 a.m. and as such, will make every effort to post announcements between 6 and 7 a.m. Parents should also note that inclement weather cancellations are effective for the whole day and buses cancelled in the morning will not run at the end of the day.</p><p>You can also subscribe to receive bus delay notifications here: <a href="https://scstc.ca/Subscriptions" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">https://scstc.ca/Subscriptions</span></a> and you can follow the Consortium on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/SCSTC_SchoolBus" target="_blank">@SCSTC_SchoolBus</a>.</p> | | | |
