Students in Waterloo Region and Guelph were expected to return to in-person learning on Monday but Mother Nature decided to take a dump on those plans.

A nasty snowstorm hit the area overnight and forced the Waterloo Region District School Board, Waterloo Catholic District School Board, Upper Grand District School Board and Wellington Catholic District School Board to close schools again.

Each of the boards has also asked their kids to return to remote learning for another day.

In addition, while most of the area’s post-secondary institutions remain in mostly remote learning, most have still closed their campuses.

The University of Guelph, Wilfrid Laurier University and Conestoga College have all announced that they will close their campuses.

The University of Waterloo had yet to make an announcement as of 7:45 a.m.
