Dear Tigers families;

As you know, today marks the beginning of a heat wave in the Region of Waterloo. WCDSB Schools will be following the guidelines listed below:

Extreme Heat: Temperature With or Without Humidex

  • Cooler than 35 C: students may remain outside for all regular outside activities.
  • Between 35 & 40 C: students may remain outside for no longer than 20-minute intervals at a time.
  • Hotter than 40 C: students must remain inside.

Note that sporting events scheduled during these periods of time are subject to this and may be cancelled as a result.

Students are encouraged to bring a hat to school for shade; limit the amount of physical exertion; and sit in the shade when possible. 

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
