Good evening Chelsea Families,
I hope you and your children were able to enjoy the snowy afternoon after the challenging process of closing the school mid-morning. I want to thank our whole community for mobilizing quickly and efficiently to get students home safely today. We truly appreciate the responsiveness of our families when situations arise that require our immediate action, and the closure today was the right decision.
The school was ventilated throughout the day and while the smell is no longer present, as a precaution, the WQSB senior directors are arranging for an external assessment to be conducted. As a result, the school will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, December 5th. Please note that daycare services must be cancelled as well. Please see the attached letter from our Director General, Mr. Singfield, with further details. While they realize this may cause inconvenience, this precautionary measure is being taken to ensure the safety of our staff and students.
As always, I am confident that the safety of our staff and students is paramount in the WQSB making these decisions for our school. As I learn any new information, I will absolutely share that with our community. You will receive another update from me tomorrow in this regard.
Once again, thank you for your help and support today, and wishing everyone a good evening.
Bill Rosseel
