Blended Learning Day: Wednesday, May 18

In November 2021, the Ministry of Education announced that all schools in the province will implement a fully de-streamed and single-streamed Grade 9 Program. This new approach will ensure high academic expectations and fewer program restrictions for all our learners.

In order to prepare and implement the new Grade 9 program and support students’ achievement and well-being, all WRDSB secondary schools will offer 4 blended learning days this semester: February 16, March 23, April 27, and May 18.

EDSS Blended Learning Days Daily Schedule

During the morning students will be working asynchronously. During the afternoon of these days, synchronous (live) opportunities to meet with each teacher will be provided. The teacher will provide instruction for connecting in each class.

For students, these days will be similar to our Instructional Support Days, where students are not required to attend in-person but will have learning provided through the virtual classroom and live meetings (online platform) with their teachers. Attendance will be taken, but in-person attendance will be optional on these days. If you do decide to attend in person on a Blended Learning Day, please report to the main office for attendance in the morning before accessing other areas of the building and attend your regular classes in the afternoon according to the modified schedule below.

ACE Classes will continue to attend in-person on Blended Learning Days according to the regular daily schedule.
