If your collective agreement does not include language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave clauses of your agreement in most cases.

The chance that all of your music students are reading music at the same level is slim to none! How can you challenge your high level music readers, meet your grade level expectations and not leave the less musically experienced students behind? With the ukulele!!! Join Alberta teacher and ukulele book author, Christina O'Brien as she walks you through multi-part arrangements for the ukulele that can be used in the elementary or middle school music room. There are so many easy ways to create parts for everyone at various levels. You'll walk away from this session with a couple of new songs to try out in your classes, as well as plenty of ideas to create your own multi-part arrangements. There will be some ukes on hand to borrow, however, please bring your own ukulele if you have one!
