School is probably on
Pack your bag. This forecast does not suggest a closure.
Buses: 4% chance of a cancellation or delay. Higher confidence.
Biggest factor: nothing strong in the overnight window.
What should I do? Pack the school bag. Still check your board in the morning in case the buses are cancelled.
Advanced: adjust the forecast

The Simcoe County District School Board serves public schools across Simcoe County, including Barrie. The forecast here is Barrie's, with high snow tolerance because of the Georgian Bay snow belt. Other Simcoe communities can be searched by name; they will not all use Barrie's saved profile unless they match it.
We do not claim the board closes at a fixed snowfall. Lake-effect mornings vary from one side of the county to the other. The score is a single point at Barrie plus a route setting you can change.
Transportation
Simcoe County Student Transportation Consortium
Simcoe County Student Transportation Consortium says it makes all efforts to post cancellations between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. Treat that as their published target and still confirm on the site, because the routine can change. Cancellations are cleared later in the day on their status page.

Questions parents ask
Is 6:00 a.m. a promise?
It is the window the consortium states on its site. It is not a guarantee from this website, and it is not a reason to skip the page if the clock has moved past 6:30.
Does SCDSB include the Catholic board?
No. This page is the public board. Catholic schools in the region are a different board that may share transportation arrangements. Check the school.
