| | Ms. T. Jilderda Principal Welcome to the MPSS website. We hope that it will be a very successful school year for your son or daughter. We encourage our students to do their best in academics and round out thier school life by getting involved in co-curricular activities. We sent out a mailling to all homes in late summer with pertinent information for the school year regarding important dates ,school code of bahaviour ,computer policy etc. We hope you find this helpful. With every reporting period we send home a school newsletter outlining what is happeningin the school and also date changes if necessary. Students recieve this newsletter with their report cards. |
Clarification on Board Weather Notifications
After the recent snow storm that hit our communities, some parents were unclear of the Board’s cancellation policy and weather zones. The Board bases its decision on whether or not to run school buses on how safe the routes are that our school buses travel on. In consultation with our bus operators and transportation staff, we decide as early as possible, and no later than 6:30 a.m., if buses will run. If buses are not running in a zone, then schools in that same zone are closed. The board notifies all local media outlets and posts a message on our transportation website (http://www.cooperativetransportation.ca).
People in Zone 1 live in Norfolk, Zone 2 is Haldimand, Zone 3 is Brant and Zone 4 is Brantford. If buses are cancelled in a zone, then the schools in that zone are closed. If buses are cancelled only for specific zones, as was the recent case when buses were cancelled for Zones 1 and 3, that means anyone living in one of the zones would not have Board provided bus transportation, even if the school they attend is in a different zone and is open. In other words, if a school in a different zone, such as Brantford is open, students may attend if they can get there, but that is a parental decision. In summary, in a zone where transportation has been cancelled school buses shall not enter or leave the zone, and transportation shall not be supplied for students attending schools outside the zone. Students living in a zone where transportation has not been cancelled will not be transported into a zone where transportation has been cancelled. A list of which schools are located in which zones can be found at: http://www.cooperativetransportation.ca/school_zones.php. |
