School start January 10, 2022

School Start up January 10, 2022

The return to school following Winter Break has been delayed for students until January 10th. On Tuesday, January 4th principals and school staff will be back at work. Their primary goal will be to review updated health and safety protocols and plan for school start-up on Monday, January 10. While no instruction will take place from January 4-7, schools will be open for a limited number of students. This will include children with diverse abilities and students whose parents or guardians are essential healthcare workers. The Ministry of Education has also asked districts to try to accommodate the children of other essential workers, including teachers and school staff, as capacity and staffing levels allow. If this applies to your family and you do not have alternate supports, please contact your school principal by email prior to January 4th. Please know that your principal will not have a full assessment of staffing levels at your child’s school until Tuesday morning. Updates will be posted here or emailed directly to Kitchener families.
