For Immediate Release
December 23, 2020
The ¾ÅÉ«Ö±²¥ (¾ÅÉ«Ö±²¥) is ready for the mandatory closure of all schools in the district from January 4-8, 2021.
As previously announced this week, Ontario Premier Doug Ford stated a province-wide shut down will come into effect on December 26. This means in northern Ontario, elementary and secondary schools will remain closed to students until January 11, 2021. A link to that announcement can be found .
At this time, both elementary and secondary students will return to “in-class” learning on January 11, 2021.
¾ÅÉ«Ö±²¥ continues to be thankful for the resiliency of our school community as we navigate this together.
Since last school year’s mandatory closure of schools, ¾ÅÉ«Ö±²¥ has learned from the unprecedented shift to student learning. Families can anticipate a continuation of student learning throughout the closure period.
¾ÅÉ«Ö±²¥ is proud to continue offering high-quality education for its students to achieve their fullest potential.
Regular updates will continue to be shared with families and posted to ¾ÅÉ«Ö±²¥’s website: nearnorthschools.ca.
