Remote/In-Person Elementary School Transition 2021
2021-01-24
Dear Elementary Parents and Guardians,
Families have been asked to make several decisions during this pandemic related to the education of your child/ren. We know it is even more challenging now as HWDSB is included in the remote learning extension to February 10.
As communicated in our December update to families, we are moving forward with our elementary transition between remote and in-person learning on February 25. Based on this date and our previous commitment to a February transition, we need to be prepared and gather the information now.
Families who wish to switch learning models between remote and in-person on February 25, must complete the Elementary Transition Between Remote and In-Person (Optional Request Form).
The form will be available in the Parent Portal and opens on Monday, January 18, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. It will close on Sunday, January 24, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. Only complete this form if you would like to request a change in delivery model.
If we do not hear from you, your child/ren’s placement stays the same.
Parents and guardians who choose in-person to remote learning will immediately transition to remote learning if school resumes on February 11.
This Elementary Transition is:

based on class space available as spaces at in-person schools are limited due to safety requirements for physical distancing and small class sizes
based on your child/ren’s mode of learning, whether remote or in-person, prior to the Provincial Closure and Remote Learning Extension.

If the demand for in-person learning is greater than the number of available spaces at schools, additional staff might be added to meet the demand.
