With schools closed today due to bad weather, the Morell family of schools public meeting planned for tonight will be rescheduled. We will provide an update with the new meeting date as soon as possible.
As of 1:20 p.m. Spring Park students were being safely transported home from the school’s evacuation site. Many students had been picked up by parents. The PSB wishes to thank parents for their assistance in this process. We also thank our staff, police, and Public Works staff who responded immediately and appropriately to ensure everyone’s safety.
The Police conducted an internal and external sweep and nothing concerning was found. Staff will be returning to the building to debrief and prepare for when students return tomorrow. Additional counselling support is being made available for any students or staff who may require it.
Following a telephone threat, Spring Park Elementary School has been evacuated. All students and staff are safe.
Police are onsite and assessing the threat.
The decision has been made to send students home for the remainder of the day. All students will follow their early closure procedures.
Students have been moved to their evacuation site at Spring Park United Church. Early closure will be held from this site.
Busses will depart from Spring Park United Church at 1:15 p.m., following the normal early closure procedures.
For walkers and those students whose early closure plan involves being picked up, parents are reminded that the students are currently at Spring Park United Church.
Wednesday, February 1, 2017 is scheduled as a provincial End of Semester Administration/School Effectiveness Day with no classes for students. Due to cancellation of classes on January 25, some senior high schools were unable to complete their examination cycle and have had to adjust their schedule.
Charlottetown Rural Senior High School, Colonel Gray Senior High School, Montague Regional High School, Three Oaks Senior High School, and Westisle Composite High School: These schools will hold the final day of exams on February 1, and February 2 will be the End of Semester Administration Day with no classes for students at those schools.
All other schools will continue as scheduled, with no classes for students on February 1.
