Dear families,
Today, Dr. Strang and Premier Rankin announced an extension of the current provincial lockdown to at least the second week of June, given the current epidemiology in the province.
They also announced that At-Home Learning will continue until the end of this school year.
We would prefer our students to be in-class with their friends and teachers. However, we also know that students and staff are making at-home learning work. Teachers have found creative ways to educate their students, and students have worked hard to stay engaged. I am sure this will continue.
I also want to acknowledge that at-home learning isn’t easy. And I know the challenges it presents are not the same for everyone. I want to thank the staff, students and families for your support, perseverance and participation. I appreciate your understanding and patience during the third wave of the pandemic.
Our commitment is that classes will continue until the end of the current school year, and students will continue to be assessed on their performance by their teachers. For more information about assessment, click here.
I appreciate the challenges you may face, and I want to reinforce the supports available to students and families. You are not alone during these trying times. If your family needs support, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Please continue to follow Public Health guidelines, get tested regularly and stay close to home. I also strongly encourage you and your family to get vaccinated once your age group opens. By doing this hard work now, we can all enjoy a better summer.
Take care,
Gary Adams
