Today, Premier Doug Ford announced that students across Ontario will not be returning to in-person learning this school year. We know how difficult the multiple shifts in learning modes have been for students and families and we know that the extended period of remote learning has had an impact on everyone in the community. We remain committed to supporting student learning remotely and to doing all we can to end the school year on a positive note. Over the next weeks, we will be sharing information about how students can access summer enrichment and upgrade courses, and also mental health and well-being supports.

Quick Facts

  • Students will continue to learn remotely at home through to the end of the school year
    • There are no changes to the end of the school year schedule
  • Students will be able to return to school to retrieve any personal belongings that were left at school in April
