Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are reaching out to provide you with what we know regarding the upcoming CUPE rotating strike action scheduled for tomorrow (December 3). CUPE Local 2545 has announced that rotating strikes will resume during this period, affecting various schools within our Division.

Student Attendance:
- For students who were previously asked to remain at home due to unavailable regular support, we kindly request that you continue with this arrangement on the days when your child’s school is affected by the strike. This includes some special needs students and those in our Early Childhood Development Program (ECDP). Your child’s attendance will be noted as a school related absence, so it will not negatively impact their overall attendance.
Our commitment is to keep you informed of any developments and to continue bargaining. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s school.
