Good afternoon parents/guardians,

Schools will remain open this afternoon to ensure that all students have a safe, supervised place to be for the remainder of the day. However, should parents/guardians wish for their child to go home earlier than the regular dismissal time, including registered bus students, you may come to the school to release them or, if we receive direct permission from you, students can be released from school on their own. Students must be signed out as per the school’s normal permission protocols.

School buses will be running at their regularly scheduled times, but due to changing road conditions some routes may be delayed or have altered stops. Impacted families will be contacted directly by the Transportation Department as per regular processes.

Updates on school opening for Friday will be made by 6:30 am tomorrow. Thank you for your support and understanding as we continue to navigate inclement weather conditions.

Thank you,

Paul Block – Superintendent of Sooke Schools / CEO

Schools are open today, January 18. Please take care as you make your way to school today.
