April 1 - Letter from the Director

Good afternoon:

A short while ago, Premier Doug Ford announced that Ontario will enter a modified version of the grey/lockdown zone for 28 days, beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Saturday, April 3.

There had been much discussion about the potential for a return to virtual learning, but the Premier has advised us this will not happen after Easter or the upcoming spring break, which will continue as planned.

However, if there is one thing we have learned in this past year it’s to be prepared for any possible changes, including a return to virtual learning after the April break if case counts do not significantly decline during the lockdown. We ask you to please be prepared for any eventuality, but hope our schools will remain open for in-person learning.

Minister Lecce has indicated he will send a letter home to families after Easter, in advance of the spring break, and we will share that letter with you when we receive it. For now, we are happy to communicate that our schools will be open to students learning in-person on Tuesday, and through the rest of the week.

Please do all you can this Easter weekend to relax and safely enjoy the break. Please follow the lockdown guidelines so that this one, hopefully, is the last one.

God bless, and Happy Easter

Camillo Cipriano
