Dear Families,
As was communicated on February 13, 2024, on Monday, April 8, 2024, a full solar eclipse will occur, which will block the sun’s light in some areas.
The effects of the eclipse will occur in York Region between roughly 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., which coincides with the regular dismissal times for our schools.
Out of concern for student safety, all students in elementary and secondary schools will be dismissed early on the afternoon of April 8, 2024.
Transportation services such as busing and taxis have been adjusted to coincide with the early dismissal on April 8, 2024. Transportation services will return to their regular schedule on April 9, 2024. Please contact the main office at your school if you have any questions about transportation services.
If you have any questions about child care services for that day, please contact your child care provider directly.
The Government of Canada website has additional information related to solar eclipses that you may review.
Please know that this decision was made with student safety at its centre.
