FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Parents and Staff Reminded of School Transportation Cancellations and School Closure Procedures
 
 

​Due to the current weather forecast, the Halton Catholic District School Board wishes to remind parents and staff of the bus cancellations and school closure procedures relating to inclement weather.

In the event of inclement weather, the Halton Catholic District School Board Director of Education and the Director of Education of the Halton District Board, consult with Halton Student Transportation Services (HSTS) to determine whether to cancel school transportation and/or close schools. In most cases, this decision is made prior to 6 o’clock in the morning and communicated by 6:30 a.m.

The decision to cancel buses and/or close schools is communicated on our Board's website, the HSTS website, and through the media. For a complete list of radio and television stations, please click here.

In addition, a message is recorded on the Board’s main telephone number: 905-632-6300, in the event of emergency cancellations or closures. An automated email or telephone message will also be sent to notify parents/guardians of school closures only (not school transportation cancellations). Please note that only parents who have provided their contact information and have opted for this service will receive the message.
