Based on the current weather data for Friday, February 12th, it is our plan to have schools open and in-person classes for students. The trend shows warming throughout the day starting at 6 AM and we are hoping this holds true. In the event the forecast changes, you will receive a notification in the morning regarding a possible closure or school bus cancellation. You can also find current up to date information on the Prairie Rose Transportation page (https://www.prrdweb.com/Routes.php). No decision is perfect and we understand parents may still have concerns about traveling in the cold weather. As a parent you may choose to keep your child home even when schools are open and buses are operating. Please notify your bus driver and school of this decision. Thank you and we look forward to seeing all our students in school tomorrow.

The February 9, 2021 Board Highlights include: approval of the 2021-2022 school year calendar, a South Alberta Academy update and a presentation from the Seven Persons kindergarten and grade 4 class. Read the highlights here: http://bit.ly/3abP1ij #weareallprairierose #prps #prsd8 #boardmeeting

Based on current weather data, a decision has been made to extend the cancellation of in-person classes at all Prairie Rose schools for Thursday, February 11th. As morning temperatures are below -40 with the wind chill, bus travel and walking to school becomes unsafe for students. Learning from home will continue for students in grades 1-12. Teachers have been asked to connect with their students regarding instruction and learning expectations. As the temperature is expected to remain cold this week, weather information will be reviewed daily and parents will be updated accordingly.
