Reorganization at Rousseau

Dear Rousseau families,

The following information has been sent home with our Kindergarten and Class 4A students about our Fall Reorganization:

This school year has presented unique challenges to Ontario schools, as well as new options for students to learn in-person or remotely.

Each fall, HWDSB reviews elementary student enrolment in schools, and reorganizes staffing if actual enrolment differs from spring projections. It is normal for student enrolment to fluctuate a little. This year, the fall reorganization is more widespread due to the in-person/remote option for students, as well as the ongoing need to meet provincial class size requirements.

Specifically at our school, the reorganization will mean that;

* Kindergarten Class JSC (currently taught by Mrs. Fernandez) is closing and those students are being placed into the other two Kindergarten classes JSA and JSB,

* Mrs. Bishop will no longer be teaching Class JSB. This class will be taught by Mrs. Fernandez and Ms. Carte Combs.

* Mrs. Muschalla will no longer be teaching Class 4A. This class will continue to be taught by Mrs. Aulakh and will now also be taught by Mrs. Stinson.

We are very grateful for the wonderful work Mrs. Bishop and Mrs. Muschalla work have done with our students. They have created a caring and effective learning environment for our students.

The transition of classes for all HWDSB schools, including Rousseau, are happening on November 2.

We apologize for any disruption this may cause and appreciate your understanding. As always, our team of dedicated educators will work with our families to ensure students are well cared for and experience educational success.

We have tried to minimize changes at Rousseau in an effort to continue to support everyone’s safety.

Thank you for your patience and please contact the school with any questions.
