Here are a few options for rewriting that message for the Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board, keeping the same core message about the BusPlanner Parent Portal being down and how you'll communicate delays/cancellations today.

Option 1: Direct and Informative
The BusPlanner Parent Portal is currently experiencing an outage this morning, which means families won't be able to check the site for school bus delays or cancellations, and automated notifications will not be sent.

For today, please check our social media channels regularly, as we will be posting all school bus cancellations and delays here as soon as we receive the information.

Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this temporary issue.

Option 2: Focus on the Temporary Communication Plan
We want to let our families know that the system that powers the BusPlanner Parent Portal for tracking school bus delays and cancellations is currently unavailable. This affects both the website monitoring and the subscriber notification service.

Dear Students, Staff, Families, and Community Members of the Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board,

As September draws to a close, we mark a day of profound significance for our nation and our community: the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We gather in prayer and solemn reflection to honour the survivors of the Residential School System, to remember the children who never returned home, and to confront the painful, enduring legacy of these institutions. We pray for healing and justice for all Indigenous peoples.

We're excited to welcome your child to kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year! We're hosting in-person registration days to help parents complete the process and get ready for a great school year.

The Office of Evangelization and Catechesis is hosting a 4-week Fall Book Club, running Tuesdays from 1:00–2:00 p.m., beginning September 30th. Participants will receive commentary, reflection questions, prayer resources, and access to online video lectures upon registration.

This engaging workshop invites kindergarten families to explore how children
learn best—through relationship and play.
