Donations of four 12 foot lengths of pressure lumber and four 4 foot lengths of pressure treated lumber is needed for this project. We are also looking for a piece of landscaping fabric for the bottom of the sandbox (to keep the weeds from growing up and the sand from falling out). Any handymen available to help would also be amazing! Please contact any of the kinder teachers or Mrs. Perry if you are able to make a do- nation of materials or time.

Inclement Weather There may be times during the school year where it may be necessary to cancel student transportation due to adverse weather conditions. NSTS gathers information on road and weather conditions from a wide variety of sources, including Environment Canada, the bus companies, various municipal and re- gional agencies and from staff performing checks on selected routes to experience the road conditions first hand. NSTS considers the actual weather conditions, the forecasted weather and the projected impact on road conditions during the peak student transportation windows. Once all available information has been collected and reviewed, and it is determined that students cannot be safely transported to school, or home from school at the end the day, the deci- sion to cancel student transportation is made by NSTS. Every attempt is made to provide the public with information on bus cancellations by 6:00 a.m. The announcement will be posted on the front page of the NSTS website, as well as on the website and social media of DSBN and Niagara Cath- olic. Local radio and television stations are also notified to disseminate this information to the public. The School Board's Director of Education makes the decision to cancel schools. School closure information is an- nounced in the manner outlined above. Please note that parents and/or guardians make the final decision on whether or not to send their child to school in inclement weather conditions.
