We have recently seen notifications of which schools will have strike activity tomorrow.

Schools with CUPE Local 2559 Strike Activity for Monday November 25, 2024:

• Father Mercredi High School
• St Kateri Catholic School
• St Gabriel School
• Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic School

Picket Location: 

• Composite High School

What this means for schools with strike activity:

• Early Entry Program (EEP) Classes will be closed at schools with strike activity. (All other programs will be open)
• Specialized Classes (Vocational Education at Father Mercredi HS and Independent Living Programs at Father Beauregard and Holy Trinity HS) will be closed if there is strike activity in those facilities.
• Individual Students not eligible to attend on strike days have been previously contacted by their schools. These students will not be able to attend school Monday. 
• Out of School Care (OSC) Programs will be closed at schools with strike activity. (All other programs will be open)
   

Program closures only happen on strike action days in your school. We have been informed that strike action will only happen one day a week in any given facility. 

The latest updates on the CUPE Local 2559 strike action will continue to be posted on our website.

While recognizing the right of our support staff to engage in legal work action by striking, we know this action has an impact on our classrooms and schools. We remain committed to bargaining and working to find a resolution.

If you have questions specific to your child(ren), please contact your child’s school directly.

Thank you for your grace, patience and understanding. We will continue to share updates with staff and all families when information is confirmed and can be shared.
