School buses face cancellations due to treacherous roads in Parry Sound and West Nipissing, leaving parents with a tricky situation. But here's the catch: while schools remain open, cancelled bus routes won't operate in the afternoon.
This unexpected turn of events was announced by the Nipissing-Parry Sound Student Transportation Services, impacting the morning commute for many students. The affected areas include West Nipissing Ouest, West Parry Sound, and East Parry Sound South (south of and excluding Hwy 522).
Parents, take note! If your child's bus is cancelled and you arrange alternative transportation to school, you'll need to pick them up at the end of the school day. This is a crucial reminder to ensure every student's safety.
