NOTICE TO PARENTS

 

SCHOOL CANCELLATIONS   

If all schools are to be canceled, parents will be notified by radio announcements on local stations including  Magic 93, CFCY, OCEAN, K-ROCK, CBC-FM (CBC PEI’s Stormwatch), Cl02, and Bonjour Atlantique that all schools in the Eastern School District are closed. 

The first notice will be broadcast by 7:00 a.m.  Sometimes it may only be necessary to close individual or families of schools.  Please refer to the following list of families of schools.

 

ONE HOUR DELAY  

In cases where a decision cannot be made by 7:00 a.m., a one-hour delay will be announced. This means that all schools and buses may operate one hour later than the usual time. 

A further announcement regarding delays and/or cancellations will take place by 8:00 a.m.

 

LATE BUS RUNS  

In some instances, even in good weather, buses may be delayed. In these cases, parents will be notified by radio that a bus or buses will be delayed by a specific amount of time. 

For example, if a bus is delayed 30 minutes, students can expect to meet the bus 30 minutes later than would normally be the case. 

SCHOOL CLOSURE DURING THE DAY 

Sometimes, it may be necessary to close individual or families of schools during the day to get children home before weather conditions become too severe.  In such cases, announcements will be made on all radio stations and our website at www.edu.pe.ca/esd. 

PARENTS WHO WILL NOT BE AT HOME WHEN CHILDREN ARRIVE SHOULD MAKE ALTERNATE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE CARE OF THEIR CHILDREN ON SUCH DAYS. PLEASE NOTIFY THE SCHOOL OF THESE CHANGES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. 

SUGGESTIONS FOR PARENTS 

1. Please listen to the radio between 6:30 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. to determine if schools are operating. 

2. Please DO NOT CALL THE EASTERN SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICE or the RADIO STATIONS for information, as this overloads the telephone lines that are often in emergency use. 

3. Do not drop children off at school unless you are certain that school is operating that day. 

4. MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR YOUR CHILDREN IN CASE OF MIDDAY SCHOOL CLOSURES. 

5. IF SCHOOLS ARE OPERATING, THE FINAL DECISION TO ATTEND RESTS WITH YOU THE PARENT. 

Together we can work to ensure a safe winter for all our children.
