Estimate only. Not a school-board announcement.
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 Waterloo Region District School Board is the public board for Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, and the region's townships. Kitchener and Waterloo have city pages. Cambridge can be searched in the tool; it does not have its own page yet. The forecast on this board page is Kitchener.
Both city profiles use high snow tolerance. That is the lake-effect setting we use for this part of Ontario, not a WRDSB policy number. The suburban route setting matches a region where many students are bused. Rural township routes should be switched to rural.
Transportation
Student Transportation Services of Waterloo Region
STSWR says the Waterloo Catholic District School Board and the Waterloo Region District School Board created a joint transportation service, and that STSWR coordinates school-day transportation for eligible students in those boards. Bus status and school closures are still worth reading separately.

Questions parents ask
Does a WRDSB closure close Catholic schools?
Not by itself. The Catholic board is a partner in STSWR and a separate employer of its schools. Check that board if your child attends a Catholic school.
Why are there two city pages for one board?
The forecast points differ slightly, and families search by city. The board decision, when it is region-wide, will match. The weather estimate does not have to.
