Hi Families,

As a reminder to everyone and knowledge for newer families, if Standard Bus is not running due to bad weather (too cold, bad roads or too much snow), PCS doesn’t have school. Enough students rely on bussing to attend that few students come and it is difficult to accomplish much learning with those at school.

Busses are often cancelled if the temperature or wind chill temperature is -35C or colder. As the forecasts are cold for the next few days, please make note if there is school or not. A notice is typically posted by 6:30 am. We will communicate it via email and social media (which also shows on our website). You can also find bus info on the top right of SD59 webpage or call the bus info line at 250-782-1061.

If you have a younger elementary student and you need to work and do not have child care for the day, please let your classroom teacher know and we will do our best to work with you on a plan.

This is also a good time to note that winter gear is always needed when riding a bus. This includes coats, toques, mitts/gloves. Please prepare your child for the unexpected during winter driving conditions.

Happy cold bug killing weather 🙂
Mrs. Atherton
