The exception is Centennial Public School on Gloucester Street, which will shift to online learning.
"Families with students at Centennial will receive additional information from their teacher and/or principal about remote learning opportunities for this day," said the OCDSB.
School boards are encouraging families to plan extra travel time.
The Ottawa Catholic School Board says all schools will be open on Monday.
"Based on discussions with (Ottawa Police Service), it has been determined there are no public safety concerns around keeping OCSB schools open (Monday)," said the Ottawa Catholic School Board.
"Parents are encouraged to check the OSTA website for any bus cancellations or delays."
The Conseil des ecoles catholiques du Centre-Est says all schools will be open on Monday.
The board warns school transportation may be slightly delayed on some routes in the downtown area.
