Students at Southview Public School, Bath PS, Amherstview PS, Odessa PS, Storington PS, École Polson Park PS, Molly Brant Elementary School and Module de l’Acadie are all learning remotely today.
Limestone District School Board posted to their twitter this morning directing parents to check their emails for an urgent message regarding the pivot to remote virtual learning due to staffing pressures.
“New COVID-19 guidelines implemented by KFL&A Public Health given the presence of the Omicron variant in the region have impacted Limestone’s ability to effectively staff some schools for in-person learning and to ensure a safe learning environment.” LDSB said on their twitter.
Public health recently updated their guidelines so that regardless of vaccination status, all COVID-19 close contacts of cases must isolate for 10 days.
LDSB apologize for these circumstances and “recognize the challenges this presents to many families. However, we cannot operate classes effectively or safely for in-person learning if we have insufficient staffing in place.”
