A winter storm that started as rain before switching to freezing rain and ice pellets and then snow on Thursday dumped roughly 15 cm as it moved across southwestern Ontario. While snow plows and sanders are out, many roads remain icy and snow covered.
The London District Catholic School Board has confirmed all of its schools will be open on Friday.
In accordance with its new policy on bus cancellations, many schools in the Thames Valley District School Board are closed for the day. The board announced in late January that when inclement weather leads to bus cancellations schools in the affected regions would be closed for the day to ensure the safety of students and staff. When that happens students will instead be able to access independent learning activities from their classroom’s online learning platform.
The following Thames Valley schools are closed for the day Friday:
