For the 2020-21 school year, elementary students will either return to school in-person, five days a week, with enhanced health and safety protocols, or enrol for distance learning only in our
PDSB Online School.
School routines in elementary schools will be adjusted until it is safe to return to our regular routines. Amidst these challenging COVID-19 times, our goal continues to be to provide a high-quality educational experience with a focus on student learning in a manner that is as safe as possible for all staff, students and essential visitors to the school.
Here is an overview of what to expect in elementary schools leading up to and during the 2020-21 school year:
- At the start of each school day
