Our school is in the <i>Central </i>zone. When buses are cancelled, schools remain open for student learning, unless otherwise noted. It is always a family decision whether or not it is safe for their child(ren) to leave for school under severe weather conditions.</p><p> </p><p>The Consortium and bus operators try to make the decision to cancel school buses before 6 a.m. and make every effort to post announcements before 7 a.m. Inclement weather cancellations are effective for the whole day and buses cancelled in the morning will not run at the end of the day. You can follow the Consortium on Twitter @SCSTC_SchoolBus for bus cancellations and other information.

| Welcome to the 2018 2019 School Year | http://inn.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/379 | Welcome to the 2018 2019 School Year | <p></p><p>Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:</p><p>It is hard to believe that another summer is waning and we are now into the new school year. Where did the summer go?</p><p>For me, starting each new school year is always so exciting – full of the potential to meet new people, have new experiences and continue my learning. </p><p>The most important lesson I have learned as a Principal is to open and then maintain the lines of communication between home and school. As we start a new year, I cannot stress how much I value the thoughts and opinions of you – the stake holders here at Innisfil Central. This is your school (students and parents) and I will rely on you to help me make the many decisions that I will be faced with in the next while. Please feel free to contact me (email is usually best and is included below) to share your thoughts, ideas, concerns and insight. </p><p>Please also check out our new and improved website. http://inn.scdsb.on.ca/</p><p>Together we will make a difference. </p><p>Christopher Russell</p><p>crussell@scdsb.on.ca (email is the best way to reach me)</p><p> </p><p><br></p> | | | |

| Is bedtime stressing you out? | http://inn.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/439 | Is bedtime stressing you out? | <p><br><strong> </strong>Kids need 10-12 hours of sleep every night, but sometimes getting them to bed can be frustrating. You can help create a regular sleep schedule for your child by setting a clear bedtime and sticking to the same time every night. Start getting ready an hour before bed; turn off the TV, computers and phones. Spend quality time talking or reading stories to help them unwind. Agree on how many you'll read before you start! Keep their room dark, cool and quiet - a nightlight is fine. Remember, making sure your child gets enough rest will help improve their mood, behaviour and ability to learn. </p><p>For more bedtime tips, contact Health Connection at 705-721-7520 or 1-877-721-7520 to speak with a public health nurse, or visit the health unit website at <a href="http://www.simcoemuskokahealth.org/">www.simcoemuskokahealth.org</a>.</p><p><em>*Information provided by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit</em></p><p><br></p> | | | |
