TLDSB school/education centre closure – March 11, 2026

Due to the current and ongoing freezing rain, TLDSB has made the decision to close all schools, education centres, and child care centres in schools today, Wednesday, March 11.

Note: the Virtual Learning Centre remains open to students.

This decision was made with the safety of our students and staff as the top priority.

Please note, schools will not be moving to online learning.

We know this is an unusual circumstance and we appreciate parents/guardians for their understanding during this time.
