CRCS REVIEW FOR SNOW/EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS THAT CAUSE SCHOOL CLOSURE
Review of Procedures . . .
CRCS does not liaise with School District (SD 72) to cancel school due to weather events.
Phone contact is not used to inform families of a school closure. Parents/Guardians and CRCS staff must check the school website www.crcs.bc.ca to see if school has been cancelled.
Context . . .
If a serious weather event occurs overnight that makes it dangerous to go to and from school, a ‘School Closure Notice’ will be posted on our website ‘early’, prior to the start of school to keep families informed.
Except . . .
If extreme weather occurs once school is in session to force a school closure (which may also cancel school bus service), the office will email families and students will call their parents/guardians for pick up (all classrooms have phones for students to use). Some staff will remain at school until all students have been picked up.
Be Cautious . . .
When snow/weather events occur that are not severe enough to cancel school, everyone is urged to choose safety first!
If you feel it is unsafe to travel from your area to school, please stay home (and please remember to report student absence(s) for that day).

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” (Isaiah 7:14)
Greetings CRCS Community!
After the recent “bomb cyclones” and those formidable winds, I was almost starting to think that we were going to end up in the Land of Oz like Dorothy & Toto from the famous story by L. Frank Baum! It’s definitely “hang on to your hat” weather, to be sure!
Despite the weather around us, we remember that God is still constant and never-changing. As we enter the season of Advent, we remember that God has come to us as a baby born in less than ideal conditions. This baby is the Saviour of the world. His mission then was the same as His mission now — to be the way to reconcile us to God so that we may be forgiven of our sins and brought back into communion with a loving, just, and merciful heavenly Father. What other king would lower himself to “slum” with the likes of such sin-filled people as we are? Only one: Immanuel – God with us. His name is Jesus.
Merry Christmas! May the Lord’s blessings and favour rest upon you now and all through 2025!
In Christ’s service,
Bérénice MacKenzie
Principal
