Winter 2007-2008 resulted in avery large number of school closures, and there were days when some parents were quite confused as to what was happening and where there children should be – home or school. In an effort to help those parents who, like us, have a child in public school I am posting a permanent page with contact information for school boards. So if you are an afterschooler or a parent whose homeschooled kids participate in some local school activities, or perhaps a continuing education or university student yourself, this is the place to come when you need that all important contact information.
I wish you all a safe & pleasant winter. May you weather it well!
