The Upper Grand District School Board is offering support for students and their families throughout the summer months.
There will be mental health supports, courses for students with Autism and transition supports for students with more complex education needs.
The Summer Mental Health program is through the board and will be providing continuity of care for students with significant mental health needs through virtual support.
Students with Autism will have a variety of online courses available to them this summer through the PEERS program with live lessons, online resources and activities.
The deadline to apply to most of these courses is July 3rd, while the deadline for the PEERS program is June 26, 2020, at 4 p.m.
