Grade 5 - 8 Blue Jays Trip Return Time Update

Our grade 5 to 8 students are excited for their Blue Jays trip today. Please note that the return time to the school will vary and is dependent on several factors, including:

  • The completion of regular school bus routes earlier in the day
  • The timing of bus arrival at the Rogers Centre
  • Traffic conditions for the return trip to Brantford

Once the buses depart the Rogers Centre, classroom teachers will email families of students attending the trip with an updated estimated time of arrival back at the school.

We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we will keep families informed as information becomes available.
