TRANSPORTATION

If you require General Transportation Information, please visit nsts.ca or call: Niagara Student Transportation Services at 905-346-0290.


INCLEMENT WEATHER

There are times in Niagara when weather conditions are so poor that we must cancel student  transportation, and/or close schools to preserve the safety of students and staff.  

The decision to cancel transportation and/or close schools is not taken lightly; a variety of factors are  considered when making this choice. To learn more about how these decisions are made, please go to https://www.dsbn.org/inclementweather

Transportation Cancellations: 

Information about transportation delays and cancellations are posted to 

https://portal.nsts.ca/Cancellations.aspx. When transportation is cancelled, every effort is made to  communicate the decision by 6:00 am on the day of the cancellation. There are times when  transportation is cancelled, but schools remain open. If, on those days you feel it is best for your child to  stay home, please report your child’s absence https://dsbn.org/safearrival/ so we can make sure they are safe at home.  

School Closures: 

When the decision to close schools is made, it refers to all schools: both in-person and remote  learners. Every effort will be made to share school closure information before 6:00 am on the day of the school closure. You will find it on dsbn.org, all school websites, DSBN social media, and local media share the news widely as well. 


GARRISON ROAD SCHOOL HISTORY

Garrison Road is a school rich in history and traditions and has been a corner stone within the Fort Erie community for 130 years. Originally established as “S.S. No. 4", the small stone structured, one room school house first opened to student in 1879. Over the years, our school has undergone many transformations with a total of five additions/renovations. However, always preserving the uniqueness of the original stone structure, which currently is our junior kindergarten classroom.

We are proud of our history and continue to honor and build on the traditions that have always made Garrison Road a wonderful place to be. We currently have an enrollment of nearly 500 students, many of them the next generation in their family to attend Garrison Road!
