Good morning Chelsea Families,
I want to begin by thanking everyone for reacting to the transportation changes this week quickly and effectively. This morning’s drop-off procedures went smoothly, and we appreciate the efforts of our staff, students, transporters and families to accommodate these adjustments.
On another note, we have received official notification from the WQSB senior management team that the teachers and professionals’ unions have confirmed that there will be strike action days from November 21st through to November 23rd. As a result, the decision has been made to cancel all classes, transportation, and daycare services across the Western Quebec School Board on November 21st, 22nd, and 23rd. Please note that all school buildings, centres, and the board office will be closed on these days. The attached communiqué from our Director General, George Singfield, has been posted on the board website and to the WQSB app. Should there be any changes in the situation regarding these strike days, I will advise our community as soon as I know.
This closure also impacts our Term 1 Parent-Teacher Conferences, which were originally scheduled for November 23rd & 24th. We will be meeting as a staff to determine an alternative date for this important event and will communicate the details as soon as possible. That said, Term 1 report cards will still be available for parents to access via the Mozaik Parent Portal as of Monday, November 20th.
Thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding at this time. Wishing everyone a good rest of your week,
