Change in Mode of Learning

September 22

Families of elementary students have continued to reach out to request a change in their child’s model of learning. We want to be responsive to the needs of our students and families. To help ensure our families and students have the opportunity to access their chosen learning option as soon as possible, ensure equity of opportunity for all families and students, and reduce disruptions in learning, we are asking families to make their request for a change in your child’s model of learning by Friday, September 25, 2020. This date replaces the October 16 deadline originally communicated. 

Students will transition to their new learning environment, in-person or distance learning by mid-October (date to be determined by the WRDSB). In the meantime, we encourage our families to have their child continue to attend their in-person program or engage with their child’s classroom’s virtual learning environment and/or the WRDSB@Home portal.

New deadline: Friday, September 25 at 4:04 PM.  There will be no extension to this date/time.

How to request a change to student mode of learning?

If families would like to make a change to their child’s mode of learning, we would encourage you to complete the Out of Boundary Form (link here), and email it to school at pre@wrdsb.ca

On the form, “Home school” = Preston PS

Present School = Current mode of learning (e.g., Distance Learning or In-Person)

School Requested = Desired Mode of learning (e.g., Distance Learning – online or printed materials, or In-Person)

Please feel free to email us at pre@wrdsb.ca or call at 519-653-0387 if you have any questions about switching your child/children’s mode of learning.
