Greater Essex County District School Board - Greater Essex County District School Board

As a result of the on-going provincial contract negotiations and legal strike action involving the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), Kindergarten Communication of Learning and Term One Report Cards (Grades 1-8) will not be issued for elementary students.

It is our expectation that communication with parents/guardians is on-going throughout the year. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to contact their child’s teacher(s) at this time and/or at any time throughout the school year if they have questions regarding their child’s academic achievement and/or well-being.

Jan. 20-24 will be a regular school week

The GECDSB is not impacted by any rotating strikes
