SchoolZone will be temporarily unavailable between August 7-9 for annual upgrades. This will affect both new families and current Division families.

After the deadline

After August 16, students cannot move from in-person to online learning.

Students taking online learning may not hear from their teacher until the first day of classes.

MORE INFORMATION

If a full return to in-person learning is not possible due to the pandemic, families will be asked to choose in-person or online learning for the rest of the school year.

As we get ready for another school year, we’ll share more information about our plan to safely welcome students and staff back to school. Watch for updates on our website, SchoolZone, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
