Update on Elementary Learning Options for the 2021-22 School Year

Posted On Wednesday May 05, 2021

We are providing an update for elementary families on today’s deadline to select between in-person and virtual learning for the 2021-22 school year. We are pleased to share that the Ministry of Education has responded to requests to provide some additional funding that will allow for slightly more staffing flexibility for the upcoming school year.

In order to continue with our planning, we are still asking that families select their preferred option for the 2021-22 school year by tonight’s (Tuesday, May 4, 2021) deadline of 11:59pm through the Parent Portal.

However, we are now also able to provide a one-week window in mid-August for families to confirm their choice. More information will be communicated to families closer to mid-August on this process.

We sincerely appreciate the feedback received from families over the last two weeks. We believe that this revised approach will provide an opportunity for all elementary families to make a final decision before the start of the 2021-22 school year at a time when the COVID-19 situation will be much clearer.

We encourage families to review the Frequently Asked Questions for more information on elementary learning options before making a decision.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through the changing dynamic of the COVID-19 pandemic to provide robust learning options for students.

Sincerely,

Norah Marsh
Director of Education
