Severe weather warning for Wednesday March 2

Hi Parents, please see the note below from Rippleton's Principal about the upcoming storm and potential cancellation of transportation and, possibly, school. This was emailed to parents as well:

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Occasionally, severe weather conditions may require the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) to cancel transportation and close schools. This may occur before the beginning of the school day or, if conditions become severe, during the school day. To ensure the safety and welfare of stu-dents and staff during school hours, the Board’s Severe Weather operational procedures will guide decisions and operations.

The safety and welfare of students is a shared responsibility with parents and guardians. In the event of severe weather conditions, please keep children at home if possible. The decision to close schools is made by the Director of Education.

Closure of schools or cancellation of transportation services will be announced on the following stations:

Information on closure of schools and cancellation of transportation services will be posted on the TDSB website at www.tdsb.on.ca and on the TDSB social media channels.

Thank you for your cooperation. We would ask that you listen to the radio/television station announcements and to the messages via SchoolConnects telephone and email communication to confirm school closure and or cancellation of transportation services. We may not be able to answer the school telephone due to the weather conditions and the volume of calls created if everyone is attempting to call the school for information.
