Accessibility in Burnaby Schools – The Burnaby School District is committed to creating an inclusive and accessible learning environment for all students and families. Part of this commitment involves working with community to help inform our work.
You may not be aware that the District has advisory and working committees to gather information about accessibility and assist in identifying barriers in the District. We encourage feedback. You can find information about how to share your feedback via an online form, email, phone, or regular mail here, where you can also learn more about Accessibility in Burnaby Schools. We welcome your input to help us improve accessibility across our schools and programs.
Weather-Related Closures – We want to remind you about how the Burnaby School District shares weather-related school closures.
How are decisions made?
All schools will remain OPEN unless there is heavy snowfall, damage, or other circumstances – such as a power outage – that make it impossible to open for instruction.
