With snow on the way, school bus operators are worried that highways will close and are picking up some students early.
Buses from Kirkland Lake to Temagami started picking up students at 1 p.m., according to North East Tri-Board Student Transportation.
"Schools will be reaching out to elementary families to ensure there is some at home to welcome students. If the school is unable to reach you, please come pick up your child at the end of the school day," reads the notice.
The North East Tri-Board Student Transportation provides services for District School Board Ontario North East, the Northeastern Catholic District School Board, and Conseil scolaire public du Nord-Est de l'Ontario.
Conseil scolaire catholique des Grandes Rivières is also picking up its students early.
It shared on Facebook that students whose parent or guardian has consented to them being sent home early are being picked up at 2 p.m. Schools are open until the end of the day.
Environment Canada has issued a weather advisory for Kirkland Lake and Englehart.
Up to 10 centimetres of snow is expected today, starting this afternoon.
"An Alberta clipper will bring snow over the area. The heaviest snowfall is expected this afternoon and will taper to light flurries overnight. Areas north of Earlton may receive slightly less snow," it reads.
"Travel may be hazardous due to sudden changes in the weather."
