Welcome 2021! As we can all attest to, 2020 was exceptionally challenging and we are looking forward with hope and optimism for all 2021 will bring!
This new calendar year starts with some adjustments as students return to learning on January 4th. As a reminder, on December 21, 2020, the Ontario Provincial Government announced that all of Ontario would move into a lockdown, beginning at 12:01 a.m. on December 26, 2020 and remain in place until at least January 23, 2021, in a bid to curb climbing COVID-19 case numbers and spare hospitals and their intensive care units from being inundated in January. The Premier has made clear that people should stay home as much as possible and limit trips outside our homes to necessities.
Based on direction from the Ministry of Education, starting January 4th, both our elementary and our secondary students will begin the new year with students learning remotely from home with our schools being closed to students during this time. Please note that there are significant differences in this lockdown compared to the Spring of 2020. At the order of the Minister of Education, schools are closed to students; in some cases, third-party childcare providers, located in our schools, will remain open. Please see below for more information on exceptions related to childcare.
Please contact your school or your child’s teacher if you have specific questions related to the 2021 start of classes!
Again, wishing you and your family all the best as we welcome the new year ahead.
