The Avon Maitland District School Board has announced changes when it comes to school closures.
Elementary schools will remain open whenever possible, while high schools will move to online learning when inclement weather forces closures.
The Ministry of Education has given schools boards approval to mix cohorts (classes) in elementary schools in emergency situations including inclement weather days to ensure supervision and keep schools open.
When students are not able to attend school on poor weather days due to bus cancellations the work will need to be made up when they return as was the practice before COVID-19.
