If weather conditions warrant, the HRCE could implement a delayed opening. Delayed openings would be considered when a severe weather event has concluded but snow clearing or other operations require additional time. Delayed opening may also be considered when the physical plant is experiencing an issue such as a power outage or loss of water and additional time is required to prepare the school to open. If this was to occur, school and Pre-Primary would be delayed by two hours. At Humber Park Elementary, this means morning supervision would begin at 9:50 a.m. Students would enter the building at 10:00 a.m. and classes would begin at 10:10 a.m. Pre-Primary would start at 10:10 a.m. If Stock Transportation is operating, the expectation will be that students are picked up two hours later than their regularly assigned time pending any weather-related delays. Our lunch and dismissal times will remain at their regularly scheduled times. In the event of a Delayed Opening the Boys and Girls Club will operate after school as per usual.

The weather in Nova Scotia is unpredictable so it’s always a good idea for families to have a back-up plan for child care when school is cancelled.
