Health Screening:

Thank you to all parents who have been making sure the health screening is done everyday. It is Mandatory for all students and staff to complete their health screening everyday either on the 'Service Now " app or the health screening forms signed by parents, before entering the school building. We prefer if the screening is done on the service now app as it is easier for us to track and with winter approaching, it is easier on students if the screening is done online through Now app.

This allows our teacher screening the students outside to finish it fast for them to enter the building soon.

Here is the link with all information regarding daily health screening : https://www.tdsb.on.ca/School-Year-2021-22/Daily-Health-Screening

Please see the attached information regarding how to use the Health Screening App from home.

Requests for Switching Between Learning Models:

When all TDSB students completed a Selection Form for in-person or virtual learning for the 2021-22 school year, we communicated that there would be one opportunity to switch between in-person and virtual learning in February 2022.

In order to plan ahead for students to switch between in-person and virtual learning for February 2022, families and students requesting a change must complete the Switch Form. Families and students who do not wish to make a change do not need to complete a form. While we cannot guarantee that all requests for a switch can be met, it is our goal to accommodate as many as possible based on available programs and space (e.g. French Immersion, Extended French, Specialized Programs, Alternative Schools, other limited circumstances).

Elementary - The Switch Form for elementary students will be open between November 26 to December 3. Families and students who do not wish to make a change do not need to complete a form. Classes will reflect changes due to switches beginning on February 22, 2022.
Secondary - We are waiting for data from the secondary student check-in survey and the secondary teacher ThoughtExchange to inform plans for Semester 2. Details will be shared with families and students so they can make an informed decision regarding switch requests. Semester 2 classes will reflect changes due to switches beginning on February 3, 2022.

Please note we supported the Ontario Public School Boards' request to the Ministry of Education "On behalf of our member boards, we know the time is right to ask for the Ministry of Education, as soon as possible, to permit school boards to make a local decision regarding a return to a normal semestered calendar, with regular cohorts, more normal timetabling, and increased options for vaccinated student participation in extracurriculars and sports."

To date there has been no response. However, Toronto Public Health told us that they could only support the Ministry decision if we reach our goal of 90% of all eligible are fully vaccinated. For the sake of our students and staff, please get vaccinated.

High School Open Houses and Information Nights:

To help you make an informed decision when choosing a school, TDSB schools will host virtual open houses and information sessions (live or pre-recorded) for parents/guardians and students between November and January. Learn everything you need to know about our incredible variety of schools, programs and courses. Please note that some schools are hosting “live” virtual open houses that families can join in real time, during the specified date and time. Please check this page regularly, as schools will continue to post information about virtual open house dates/times and available pre-recorded information sessions. You can view the prerecorded sessions at any time by clicking the link provided. If you have questions about a specific school or open house, please contact the school directly for more information.
