Saskatoon schools to resume class but no buses running

Saskatoon saw a dump of snow over the weekend, affecting all roads in the city, which the school division says is impacting bus routes.

Sidewalks and entrances to schools have been cleared, but Saskatoon Public Schools added that parents should still be cautious if they decide to drop off their kids, as large snow banks can make it difficult to see kids crossing the street.

Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools (GSCS) will also have its doors open Tuesday but no buses will be running, including the ones from Warman and Martensville.
