Remote learning will start today for both elementary and secondary students in the Simcoe County District School Board.
Students involved in remote learning can expect the following:
-
Students may be clustered in ‘classes’ from multiple schools.
-
Student attendance will be taken daily.
-
Students may move between remote learning and in class learning at the natural term transition time, which is February 2021.
-
Students will be provided with a daily schedule of subjects/courses according to a five-hour instructional day.
-
Student learning will be based on overall expectations across all subjects/courses and grades, and will include opportunities for guided instruction, large and small-group learning, synchronous check-ins and asynchronous independent work.
-
Synchronous learning time may include students working independently and in small groups while engaged in a virtual classroom with the teacher overseeing their learning and available for questions.
-
Students will be able to meet with educators as needed to address specific learning needs.
-
Students who do not have access to a learning device or Internet will be provided with access to technology. Distribution of technology will be facilitated at the school level at the beginning of the school year.

Students will access Google Classroom or Desire2Learn (D2L) as their synchronous learning platform, as determined by their teacher.
