This extension is being made on the advice of the Chief Medical Officer of Health. You should also be receiving a letter from the TDSB's Director of Education later this evening with further details about remote learning and assessment for secondary students in the board. Starting on Monday April 6th, teachers at North Toronto will engage in distance learning with their students using a variety of platforms and their own professional judgement and discretion. Learning will take on a variety of forms and may include online learning, phone connections, assignments submitted by email, online classrooms, off-line tasks and more. Please encourage your children to check the virtual platform that their teacher uses for further instructions, posted work and timelines for the short term. As well, please encourage your children to reach out to the school administration, their Guidance counsellor or their classroom teacher for ongoing support. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding as we navigate our way through these truly unprecedented times.
