A heat wave is upon us! What does this mean for your child(ren) at school?
Today marks the beginning of a heat wave in the region of Kitchener-Waterloo. As extreme heat can effect our students and staff, the Waterloo Catholic District School Board has created inclement weather procedures for extreme heat.
Extreme Heat: Temperature with or without humidex
- Cooler than 35 C: students may remain outside for all regular outside activities.
- Between 35 & 40 C: students may remain outside for no longer than 20 minute intervals at a time.
- Hotter than 40 C: students must remain inside.
We use the Weather Network site to monitor temperatures:
