All of the students have been so excited this last week before the holiday break! It was lovely to see so many families join us for the Gingerbread House event. Thank you to the School Council for organizing and volunteering for this event. Congratulations to Lyla and Gabriella whose artwork was selected for Mayor Siscoe’s Holiday Card Contest! I wish you all a safe and healthy holiday break and look forward to seeing everyone in 2026!

Inclement Weather Message for Families
There are times in Niagara when weather conditions are so poor that we must cancel student transportation, and/or close schools to preserve the safety of students and staff. The decision to cancel transportation and/or close schools is not taken lightly; a variety of factors are considered when making this choice. To learn more about how these decisions are made, please go to https://www.dsbn.org/inclementweather.
School Closures:
When the decision to close schools is made, it refers to all schools: both in-person and remote/virtual learners. Every effort will be made to share school closure information before 6:00 am on the day of the school closure. You will find information on dsbn.org, all school websites, DSBN social media, and local media share the news widely as well. Optional Snow Day activities for Kindergarten to Grade 8, will be available on the DSBN website on days when schools are closed due to inclement weather.
Childcare: Decisions regarding whether childcare services will operate on school closure days are at the discretions of each individual childcare operator. Childcare operators will notify affected families directly if they make the decision to close.
Have a great holiday!
