Return to in-person learning, Tues., Nov. 8, 2022
We have received confirmation that CUPE education workers will return to work tomorrow, Tuesday, November 8, following the Ontario government's offer to repeal legislation if CUPE agrees to return to negotiations. With that in place, it means schools will be open to students and busing will be running, as usual, on Tuesday, November 8, 2022 and until further notice.
All other aspects of learning and school/board operations will return to normal, including the following:
• Before/after school and EarlyON programs will resume operations.
• High school students may return to their co-op placements.
• Community use of schools permits will resume.
This is welcome news for everyone involved—CUPE workers, students, families and the provincial negotiating teams who have committed to return to collective bargaining.
Families who were assigned technology for students to use for asynchronous remote learning are asked to return it to the school so it can be used in the classroom setting.
We’re all looking forward to welcoming students and staff back to school tomorrow. Thank you for your patience and support of your child’s school during the labour uncertainty.
