The school division also cancelled all rural transportation routes, as well as field trips that required transportation, and continues to assess road conditions in High River and Okotoks.
"We respect the decisions parents make to keep their children at home when transportation circumstances make travel unsafe," said Foothills School Division in a statement posted on its website. "When attendance is low due to winter weather, teachers are asked to provide meaningful instruction in the form of review, practice, and enrichment. Any essential learning or activities that occur will be replicated for absent students upon their return."
