Dear Near North Families,Ā Ā Ā
We would like toĀ acknowledgeĀ theĀ dedication ourĀ staff, students, and familiesĀ haveĀ demonstratedĀ toĀ ensure a safe and successful return to school this fall.Ā YourĀ commitmentĀ to learningĀ has beenĀ visible āĀ both virtually, at home and in the classroom.Ā Ā
While our region has experiencedĀ relatively lowĀ levels of COVID-19 transmission, we acknowledge that conditions are evolvingĀ across the provinceĀ and we need to be prepared for all scenarios ā includingĀ the possibility of individual classes, schools or the system moving to remote learning forĀ a period of time.Ā Ā Ā
While we anticipate a return to āin-class” learning on January 4th, we are taking actions to minimize any potential disruption to learning in theĀ New Year.Ā Ā As a reminder, weĀ haveĀ encouragedĀ students and staff to take home any materials that they mayĀ requireĀ for remote learningĀ before they leave school for the holiday.Ā OurĀ districtĀ hasĀ gathered informationĀ toĀ identifyĀ student access to technology for learning at home.Ā WeĀ will continue to respond toĀ familiesāĀ needs and support access to at-home learning tools and resourcesĀ in the event ofĀ any remote learning period.Ā
Thank you,
Near North District School Board
