School Opening Delay

December 30, 2021

Please be advised that according to the announcement made on December 30, 2021, by Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Heath, Ontario is delaying the return to school until January 5 due to the recent spike in COVID-19 cases.

Before and Afterschool programs will be cancelled at all locations January 3 & 4 and resume on January 5, 2022.

At this time, we are working with the local school boards and WECHU to keep Preschool Programs at Holy Cross, King Edward, General Brock, Dougall and Talbot Trail open starting January 3, 2022. The preschool program at St. John Vianney will reopen on January 5. Should this information change, you will be notified via email.

Please also note that there will be updates in the Ontario COVID-19 school and childcare screening tool in the next coming days. Please ensure you are completing screening prior to attendance and keeping your children home if they are ill. https://covid-19.ontario.ca/school-screening/

We will continue to closely monitor and assess the situation as new information becomes available.  As always, should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to speak to your site supervisor.
