Opt-Out Process for Online Learning Requirement

In February 2022, the Ministry of Education implemented an online learning graduation requirement for all students starting secondary school in the 2020-2021 school year (students currently in Grade 11 and younger). This graduation requirement requires all students to earn two full credits through online learning. 

All HWDSB families have the option to opt out of the online learning requirement. 

Families will have the ability to opt out of the online learning requirement by completing a form in Parent Portal. This form is available now.  Once families complete the form and submit it with all the required information, they will receive a notification that their submission has been received.

The form is titled ‘eLearning Opt Out for Families’ in Parent Portal.  There is no expiration date or deadline to submit. Families should note that the form can only be submitted once in Parent Portal. If you need change your decision, you will need to contact your home school.
