Here is a quick update with more to come next week. 

This past Monday Premier Doug Ford announced the closure of schools for in-person learning after the Spring Break (announcement is available at the link here: Ontario Moves Schools to Remote Learning Following Spring Break.) 

This closure includes private school and as such DACS will also be transitioning to remote learning next week.  For students, Spring Break will effectively be extended 3 days with remote learning commencing Thursday, April 22nd.  This 3-day turnaround to start next week will allow staff to prepare packages and organize any necessary pick-ups.  Staff will follow up next week with the details. 

While returning to remote learning is not the news we were looking for, it is the path that the Lord has put before us and so we humbly, through prayer and petition, work through all that He has set before us.   We can be thankful for the additional days we could have had last week, and as Board we pray that all students, parents, volunteers, employees and staff alike can have a refreshing and blessed break. 

Pizza and Jersey Day is coming up! Enjoy your delicious pizza lunch on April 6th and don’t forget to wear your favourite team’s jersey – but make sure you do not get any cheese or sauce on it!
