Dear Parents and Guardians of Connaught Street Elementary School, Priestman Street Elementary School, Montgomery Street Elementary School and George Street Middle School,

As you may be aware, there is a planned demonstration in the Fredericton downtown core and surrounding the legislative buildings starting tomorrow, Friday, February 11. The protest aims to impact traffic and can also impact schools and school bus routes. With the possibility of disruption, and to keep things simple for families, nearby schools - Connaught Street Elementary School, Priestman Street Elementary School, Montgomery Street Elementary School and George Street Middle School - will be closed tomorrow and there will be no expectation for student learning.

We will continue to monitor the situation over the weekend and communicate with families if there are any additional impacts.

Thank you for your continued patience and support.

Sincerely,

David McTimoney, Superintendent, ASD-W​
