W.J. Holsgrove Public School Family Update

Principal's Message
Happy New Year! It has certainly been a strange first week back, with two snow days and an usual January rain on Friday. We hope that next week sees a more regular return to winter and the routines of school. It has been wonderful getting to know the students and staff in my new role as principal. I look forward to getting to know the wider Holsgrove community, and look forward to lots of growth and learning and winter fun outside.
J. Cole, Principal

Bus Cancellations
As we have seen several times already this year, sometimes buses are cancelled due to inclement weather. The decision to cancel buses is made by Triboard, in consultation with Limestone District School Board, early in the morning. This decision may be based on active weather in the morning or forecast weather for later in the day. We will send an email to families in the morning when buses are cancelled, but you can also sign up for notifications at https://triboard.ca/snowdays/. Please remember that if you drive your children to school on inclement weather days our supervision starts at 8:55 a.m. and students must be picked up by 3:30. If they are staying home due to weather or bus related cancellations, please report the absence through SafeArrival to avoid an attendance call. Please note that when buses are cancelled our Hot Lunch program is also cancelled for the day.
