Update on Quarter 4 online learning

News item: Update on Quarter 4 online learning

Now that the family choice deadline has passed, we are working to finalize learning groups and assign teachers. The process of organizing students and teachers is complex and takes time. 

As we plan online classes each quarter, we do our best to keep students from the same school together or to keep them in an online class with a teacher from their school. However, due to the number of students switching between online and in-person learning this quarter, some online students may have new teachers or learning groups. 

Before Quarter 4 classes start on April 22, teachers will send an email with a Google Meet link to their students. This includes students who are:

  • switching from in-person to online learning
  • returning to online learning and may have a change in teacher 
  • in high school and starting new online classes

You may not hear from your child’s teacher until just prior to classes on April 22

HOW TO ACCESS ONLINE LEARNING

To access your child’s online learning group on the morning of April 22:

  • STEP 1: Make sure you have your child’s SchoolZone sign in details. If you don’t have them, contact your school. 
  • STEP 2: On the first day of online learning, sign in to Google Classroom using your child’s @share.epsb.ca account. You can also access Google Classroom from the Apps tab in your child’s SchoolZone account.
  • STEP 3: Click the blue Join button to connect to their online learning group.

If your child is switching from online to in-person learning, please contact your child’s school directly if you have questions about their return to school.
