​Request for Change

- final opportunity for this school year -

​The final opportunity to change a GECDSB student's learning model for the 2020-21 school year will be available from Wednesday, December 30th until 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 6th. 

A link to an on-line form will be provided on the main page of the GECDSB website, www.publicboard.ca. for that week.

If a student will not be changing, no action will be necessary.

Elementary students may switch from their current learning model to: in-person (at school); remote / virtual (on-line) or remote / paper packages. 

The transition point (first day for new learning model) will be Monday, February 1, 2021.

Secondary students may switch from their current learning model to: in-person (adapted) or remote / virtual (on-line).

The transition point for high school will be Wednesday, February 3, 2021.

The selected learning model will remain in place for all students for the remainder of the 2020-21 school year.

Any families / students wishing to make a change to their current learning model must do so by the 4:00 p.m. deadline on January 6, 2021 in order to allow time for the reorganization of staffing and schedules.

In the event that remote learning is extended by the Ministry of Education or the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit then models of learning would not be changing for students. We ask families to continue to check our website for the latest updates.
