“As we mourn the loss of our learning spaces and physical items, we know that our school is so much more than a building or its contents,” Andrew Hirst, Westview’s principal, said in a statement.

“Westview School has always been our students, staff and families. The Westview School community will continue to exist regardless of where we learn.”

The school aims to move students and teachers to Radisson School as soon as possible.

Westview says Students will learn from home until March 8.

Parents will receive updates on Friday.
