Weather-Related Closure Procedures

We want to remind parents/guardians, students, and staff about White Rock Christian Academy weather-related school closure announcements.

The school will remain OPEN, unless there is heavy snowfall, damage or other circumstances that make it impossible to operate safely. 

The school will do its best to communicate school closure by 6:30am.

If appropriate, the school administration may decide to have a late start at 9.30am.

This information will be posted on the front page of the school website.

PLEASE NOTE THAT, TYPICALLY, NO ANNOUNCEMENT WILL BE MADE THAT THE SCHOOL IS OPEN – ASSUME THAT THE SCHOOL IS OPEN.

Expectations for Offsite Learning: Please note that there will be NO offsite learning during weather-related school closures.

Travel Safety: Parents/guardians are responsible for their child’s safe travel to school. If you are uncertain about the school’s status upon arrival, walk your children to the entrance. If for any reason you feel that your child cannot travel safely to school, then you should notify the school that your child will be absent at wrca@wrca.ca or 604.531-9186.  Student safety is a shared responsibility. With your cooperation and support related to winter weather procedures, we can achieve safe conditions for all.

Snowfall During School Hours: The school administration can decide to dismiss school early if weather conditions create a concern for the safety of students returning home. The principal and staff will communicate this decision to parents in the best way possible through the school’s normal communications channels.
