Calgary can gain or lose a snow cover overnight when a chinook arrives, and it can also cancel buses for cold under a clear sky. The profile is typical snow tolerance and high cold sensitivity. The hourly forecast is what the score sees. If the chinook is in the temperatures, the cold factor shrinks. If it is not, a −30°C commute still counts.
The Calgary Board of Education homepage is linked because the site identifies itself. The Catholic board is separate and is not linked here. The urban setting is the preload. Acreage routes west and north of the city should be switched to rural before you trust the bus number.
We do not have a board page for every authority here. Use the official links and your school's site.

Questions parents ask
Does the CBE close the Catholic schools too?
No. They are different boards. The link on this page is only the Calgary Board of Education. Check the board named by your school.
Why did the score drop after a mild wind started?
If the forecast apparent temperature rose, the cold points fell. That is the chinook case. It is only as good as the forecast hour you are looking at.
