Schools Closed to In-Person Learning on Friday

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As a follow-up to our message earlier today, CUPE has now confirmed that they will be on strike on Friday, November 4, 2022 because a negotiated agreement has not been reached with the Government of Ontario.

Given confirmation that CUPE is on strike, all DDSB schools will be closed for in-person learning starting on Friday for the duration of this strike action to protect the health and safety of students. Please do not send your children to school.

At this stage, we do not know how long this labour disruption will last. We will provide families with an update tomorrow on our plans to support student learning for next week if the strike continues and schools remain closed to in-person learning as a result.

As a reminder for Friday, educators will be providing students with independent work to complete through your child’s Google Classroom or other digital platform. There will be no live virtual classroom instruction for students on Friday.

For the latest information, please continue to visit www.ddsb.ca and follow @DDSBSchools on Twitter.

Thank you,
