CRCS REVIEW FOR SNOW/EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS THAT CAUSE SCHOOL CLOSURE
Review of Procedures . . .
CRCS does not liaise with School District (SD 72) to cancel school due to weather events.
Phone contact is not used to inform families of a school closure. Parents/Guardians and CRCS staff must check the school website www.crcs.bc.ca to see if school has been cancelled.
Context . . .
If a serious weather event occurs overnight that makes it dangerous to go to and from school, a ‘School Closure Notice’ will be posted on our website ‘early’, prior to the start of school to keep families informed.
Except . . .
If extreme weather occurs once school is in session to force a school closure (which may also cancel school bus service), the office will email families and students will call their parents/guardians for pick up (all classrooms have phones for students to use). Some staff will remain at school until all students have been picked up.
Be Cautious . . .
When snow/weather events occur that are not severe enough to cancel school, everyone is urged to choose safety first!
If you feel it is unsafe to travel from your area to school, please stay home (and please remember to report student absence(s) for that day).

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." (James 1:17 NIV)
One thing I love about God is that He is consistent, constant, steadfast, faithful. His character never changes. As the world seems to spin in crazy circles and conflicting ideologies vie for our attention and submission, God remains unwaveringly dependable and unshakable. He does not come and go. His Word remains the same yesterday, today, and forever, unchanged by human emotions, politics, and whims. At CRCS, our goal is to help students lean into God. We know that young people are subjected to a LOT of things in the world around them; things that whisper false messages into vulnerable ears and hearts. By God's grace, we will continue to speak hope and Biblical truth into our students' lives so that they will see that God is good, all the time — that He is for them and has a plan for each and every one of them. His Love, His Truth, His Word will never change. God's unchanging trustworthiness brings me comfort. I invite you to find comfort in Him, too!
In Christ's service,
Bérénice MacKenzie
