Weather-related closures, class cancellations & delayed openings
In addition to educating children, schools are expected to provide safe, supervised environments. Any cancellation,
closure or delayed school opening has a significant impact on tens of thousands of families. Most cannot arrange
alternate childcare when classes are cancelled or schools are closed unexpectedly.
Consequently, schools will not routinely be closed due to snow or other weather conditions unless there is damage or
other circumstances (e.g., power outage) at a particular school that makes it impossible to operate safely. No
announcement will be made that schools are open; only cancellations, closures or delayed school openings
will be announced.
 The district supports individual and family decisions regarding safety. Student and staff safety are a
priority of the school district. Parents/guardians have primary responsibility for their children's safe travel to
school and staff members also decide if local conditions may be unsafe. If, for any reason, there are personal
concerns about the ability to travel safely to school, other arrangements should be made. It is understood some
students travel to school on routes that may be challenging on a snow day; therefore, no student will be
penalized for lack of attendance because of such conditions. While schools are likely to be kept open, the
decision to attend is the responsibility of each family. Parents can phone or email the school to notify staff
a student won't be attending.
 The district will do its best to communicate the status of schools beginning at about 7:00 a.m., when
possible. Weather, power, road and safety conditions can change substantially within a few hours, therefore
assessments and decisions are made early in the morning so the information is more reliable.
 Only closures or delayed school openings will be announced, otherwise, schools are open.
Announcement of closures or delayed openings
In the event of class cancellations or delayed school openings, the Surrey School District will post information on its
website at www.sd36.bc.ca and provide updates to the following radio stations.
CKNW (980 AM)
Radio India (1600 AM)
News 1130 (1130 AM)
Radio Punjab (cable/satellite)
CBC Radio (690 AM)
Fairchild Radio (1470 AM)
Red-FM (93.1 FM)
CHMB (AM 1320)
Class cancellation/delayed opening information may also be broadcast on some local TV station newscasts. Please do
not call the radio stations as staff is very busy receiving updates and preparing newscasts.
Please do not call the schools and district offices. Calling schools and district offices is also impractical since staff
members are generally not available to answer telephone calls far in advance of regular school opening time and phone
lines typically become congested in any event.
PLEASE CUT THIS FORM OFF ON THE DOTTED LINE.
