Deadline Extended for TVDSB Learning Plans for 2021-2022

Thursday, 6 May 2021 at 05:55

Thames Valley parents now have until Tuesday June 1st to decide if they want to send their kids back to the classroom this September.

OXFORD COUNTY - The Thames Valley District School Board is giving parents a bit more time to make their decision on remote learning

The deadline to submit your child's learning plan for next year has been pushed back to Tuesday June 1st. Parents were originally supposed to submit their plans by Thursday May 13th.

Students will able to return to in person learning in September, however the option will be on the table for anyone who wishes to remain with the remote learning model. TVDSB Director of Education Mark Fisher says they understand this isn't an easy decision.

"We realize that making the decision now may be challenging for some families. The choice that families make for each child will be a commitment for the full year."

Thames Valley strongly recommends parents carefully read the document and contact their child’s school for further information, if necessary, to determine which learning model is right for their children.

Some important considerations include:

- French Immersion programming will be offered in-person only

- Due to the nature of some courses, not all courses will be available to secondary students enrolled in Full Remote Learning

- Your child’s strengths as a learner and ability to use technology independently. Engagement and participation online are required and critical to student success

- The need for student interaction with peers

- Your family’s ability to support and, for younger students, supervise remote learners during the day

- Access to and involvement in extra-curricular activities such as clubs, teams and events
