Remote Learning to Begin

Posted January 4, 2022

Hello everyone.

As you can imagine, staff are in the process of planning for remote learning and distributing technology.  Many of you, I know have already been contacted by them.

Following is a message that we have received from senior administration.  This approach will allow us to be properly prepared for the next period of time.

Starting on January 5, students in the UGDSB will shift to remote learning until at least January 17th, 2022. Wednesday, January 5th will be a day for teachers to plan and prepare for our upcoming time in remote learning and make connections with their students. We do not anticipate staff and students to be fully prepared for remote learning until Thursday, January 6th.

There are no expectations on Wednesday for staff to post asynchronous materials, just to connect with their students.   They may choose to post work for their students but are not expected to.  Wednesday is really a soft launch for remote learning and a day for staff to ensure they are prepared for Thursday.

Staff will mostly be working remotely in order to limit the spread of this variant.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Thanks in advance for your help in making this transition to a different model of learning as positive as possible.  We are certainly hopeful that we will be back together at Eramosa PS soon.

Best Regards,

Paul Tribe, Principal
