Snow has hit the Parkland and Mountain View School Division is prepared for when the worst of winter hits.
When poor weather arrives during a school day, MVSD's transportation department and senior administration assess travel by looking at the following.
- Road conditions;
- Temperature and wind chill;
- Reports from bus drivers and RM officials; and
- Weather warnings.
When it comes to bus cancellations, routes are only cancelled when it's determined to be unsafe to drive students.
If MVSD makes the decision to not operate a certain route, parents or guardians and the public will be notified, in multiple ways.
- Text alert (only to parents/guardians of registered students who use the bus);
- Website and social media; and
- Radio station announcements.
Parents or guardians always have the right to make the final decision on whether to send their child to school or not.
If buses are cancelled, schools may remain open.
Teachers will provide instruction to those in attendance.
