School boards now have permission to extend any staggered entry over the first two weeks of school, and the Upper Grand District School Board has made some changes.
They have updated their Elementary Model Overview with the new staggered entry schedule. Schools will be in direct contact with families with regards to scheduling and cohorts.
Students at the elementary level will have a staggered entry for JK to Gr 8 students during the first two weeks of school starting on September 8th.
Students remain with only their class – considered their cohort – during the day, including during recess and lunch and teachers would go into each classroom to provide programming for students.
At the secondary level, only Grade 9 students will attend the first day of school, Tuesday Sept. 8, while the following day will include both Grade 9 and Grade 10 students.
Students enrolled in the remote learning program will begin the quadmester on Friday, September 11.
