*Bus Route Update*

All School Bus service for Christ the Redeemer schools in Drumheller, Strathmore, and Brooks has been cancelled.

Thankfully, No FSD Bus service has been effected in any communities, and Christ the Redeemer schedules in Okotoks, High River, and Canmore are still functioning and on-time, However parents should expect longer than usual travel times.

If anything regarding bus service and schedules changes, FSD has announced that each bus driver will be contacting parents to notify them and arrange alternative travel options.

In a press release from Christ the Redeemer School Board from 12:00, Monday:

For students in all of our other communities: Oyen, Drumheller, Brooks, Okotoks, High River, Clear Water Academy (Calgary) and Canmore, the students who are in our schools are safe and secure, and we will continue to take care of them. We do not have the ability to send buses home early, as we cannot anticipate which houses will not have an adult there to meet the child(ren) in the middle of a work day.
We are writing to advise that if parents in these communities feel they can safely navigate the roads, they are welcome to come to the school to pick up their child and take them home. Parents who have high school students who drove to school should speak to the school regarding their plans for their child (i.e. Leave the vehicle at school and walk to a friends, wait for you to pick them up, be released early and drive to a location within town, etc.). Please, only travel or allow your child to travel if you feel capable and comfortable on the road.

Please continue to monitor the below sites for updates. As conditions deteriorate we keep a keen eye on the websites and the roads. Keep checking back with The Eagle 100.9, and Okotoksonline.com.
