The Near North District School Board (NNDSB) says it is ready for the mandatory closure of all schools in the district from January 4-8, 2021.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford stated a province-wide shut down will come into effect on December 26. This means in northern Ontario, elementary and secondary schools will remain closed to students until January 11, 2021.
A link to that announcement can be found here.
At this time, both elementary and secondary students will return to "in-class" learning on January 11, 2021.
A Board news release says "Since last school year’s mandatory closure of schools, NNDSB has learned from the unprecedented shift to student learning. Families can anticipate a continuation of student learning throughout the closure period."
Regular updates will continue to be shared with families and posted to NNDSB's website.
