Extreme Windchill Guidelines

Good evening CPEC Families. We have had several inquires already about school tomorrow due to the forecast of an extreme wind chill in the morning. Please note that the decision to close school or keep it open does not happen until the morning of, between 6:45 and 7:00 AM. Currently the forecast is calling for a temp of -33C but feeling like -43C with windchill. We use the following policy to aid in our decision. Please familiarize yourself with it. Also, check back here tomorrow morning around 7:00 AM for any updates. 

Extreme Wind Chill:

• If the cold weather temperature is -40 Celsius or colder without a windchill factor, as read between 6:45 -7:00AM from the Weather Network App, student transportation will be cancelled. The school will remain open and staff will be required to be at school.
• If the cold weather temperature is –43 Celsius or colder with a windchill factor, as read between 6:45-7:00AM from the Weather Network App, student transportation will be cancelled. The school will remain open and staff will be required to be at school.
• If the cold weather temperatures is -46 Celsius or colder, with or without a wind chill factor, as read between 6:45-7:00AM from the Weather Network App, student transportation will be cancelled and schools will be closed. Staff will not be required to be at school.
• If student transportation is cancelled and/or school is closed but the temperatures warm up by noon, to where transportation can resume, classes will resume for the remaining half day.
