The Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario (CDSBEO) has announced they will implement a staggered start for school.
In a message on the boards website, the CDSBEO says it is to ensure all health and safety are in place for students and staff and let students familiarize themselves with new protocols.
“This model has been created to support a slow and consistent approach to full entry for all students by Thursday, September 10th.”
On Friday, September 4th there will be no students in school. Grades will be added gradually in the staggered start schedule.
The CDSBEO says this schedule will be in place for all of their schools:
Tuesday, September 8th, first day of school for:
• JK/SK students
• Grade 7 students (in secondary schools)
• Select Special Education students (all grades) – schools will contact parents with more information
Wednesday, September 9th, first day of school for:
• Grade 1-3 students
• Grade 8 students (in secondary schools)
• Grade 9 students
Thursday, September 10th, first day of school for:
• Grade 4-6 students
• Grade 7-8 students (in elementary schools)
• Grade 10-12 students
• *all students in attendance on this date
Monday, September 14: First Day of School for Remote Distance Learning
The CDSBEO says they appreciate everyone’s patience when planning for starting school safely.
