Update: Schools are open and buses are running

All schools in the North Okanagan-Shuswap are open this morning, but roads are reportedly very icy

UPDATE: Jan. 30

Schools are open and buses are running in the North Okanagan-Shuswap School District.

Manager of Operations Trevor Bettcher reports the roads are quite icy in places this morning so it will be another slow morning for buses.

He expects buses will be running a little behind schedule on most routes.

“Thanks for your patience,” says Alice Hucul, School District No. 83.

UPDATE: Jan. 29

All schools in the North Okanagan-Shuswap are open this morning, Monday, Jan. 29 following a two-day snowstorm over the weekend.

Alice Hucul, spokesperson for School District #83, says all school buses will be running as close to usual times as possible and all schools from the North Shuswap to Armstrong are open as usual.

Parents are asked to use extra caution when dropping off students at schools as driveways and parking lots may be affected by the snowfall.

Any updates will be posted as information becomes available.
