Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,
Following Monday’s storm and two days of no in-person learning at our schools, we have been closely monitoring the weather forecast, City of Toronto snow clearing operations and the clearing of snow from our own ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø properties as we consider plans for tomorrow, Wednesday, January 19.
- While not yet complete, the City of Toronto continues to make significant progress in clearing major roads and side streets and will continue overnight.
- The vast majority of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø schools and sites have been plowed and thanks to the great work of our caretakers are now accessible. Plowing will continue.
- While delays are still possible, students and staff will more easily be able to travel to schools/sites given significant plowing operations underway in the GTA.
Based on this information, we have made the decision to re-open all schools to in-person learning for Wednesday, January 19.
Please note that child care programs (serving infant, toddler and preschool-aged children) can remain open to families, however families are still encouraged to connect directly with the operator to confirm they are open. Before and After-School Programs, and Extended Day Programs will also be able to open. ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø EarlyON Child and Family Centres will continue to offer virtual-only programming at this time. All Continuing Education programs will also resume as normal.
As we return to in-person learning, please remember to carefully review and become familiar with the revised COVID-19, including the second page which provides direction on isolation measures in a variety of scenarios based on age and vaccination status. Please complete the ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø Health Pass or daily.
We look forward to welcoming students and staff back to in-person learning tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Colleen Russell-Rawlins
Director of Education
