RVS schools have been directed to follow the Government of Canada’s Air Quality Health Index due to heavy smoke in the region. Conditions may vary by community. Schools are asked to keep students indoors for recess and lunch breaks if the air quality is at 7/high risk or higher in their area. Conditions and decisions on indoor activities may change throughout the day. 
 
Parents keeping students home due to air quality health issues are reminded to report their absence to their school.
