Schools are open today, despite heavy snow

All five island boards have agreed to stay open today despite the heavy snowfall. It looks like the snow is finished and it is expected to be -4C this afternoon. The bus companies stated that there will probably be many delays,  but it is safe to roll out the buses. 


We are asking parents for patience. Children's safety is our priority, 


Toutes nos écoles et nos  centres  sont  ouverts   aujourd hui.

    Commuting to and fro from school with such heavy snow is incredibly hard but good to see that the school is open. That teachers and administration are at work instead of sitting back and compromising on the education the children deserve to get.
