Dear Families:
With winter weather here, we want to remind you about how the Burnaby School District shares weather-related school closures.
All schools will remain OPEN, unless there is heavy snowfall, damage or other circumstances – such as a power outage – that make it impossible to open for instruction. The District will do its best to communicate school or district wide closures by 6:30 am. This information will be posted on the front page of the district website www.burnabyschools.ca. However, please keep in mind that there may be situations where this is not possible – again, such as a power outage.
Another way to learn about school closures is on local news stations (online, radio and TV), some of which are:
- CBC AM 690 radio
- News AM 1130 radio
- CKNW AM 980 radio
- Fairchild AM 1470 radio
- Global TV
- CBC TV
- CityNews
- CTV BC
Student safety is a responsibility we share with families. Please walk your child to the door of the school if you are unsure whether or not the school is open. If for any reason you feel that your student cannot travel safely to school then please – as you normally would – notify the school that your child will be absent.
Thank you for working with us to keep our school community safe.
