Schools will Remain in Remote Virtual Learning for the Remainder of the School Year

Today Premier Doug Ford and Minister of Education Stephen Lecce announced that schools will remain in remote virtual learning for the remainder of the school year.  Students with significant special education needs who are currently accessing in-person support in our schools will continue to do so for the remainder of the school year.   

We anticipate further information to be provided by the Ministry of Education and our partners from Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health concerning year-end activities and access to schools for students and families to return items and pick up any remaining items.   We will share information as soon as it is available.
