Dear Parents/Guardians,
Following consultation with Chief Hill and Chief Maracle, in order to protect the safety and wellbeing of the children and families of Six Nations of the Grand River and Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory the following elementary schools: J.C Hill, Jamieson, Oliver M. Smith Kawenni:io, Emily C General, I.L Thomas, and Quinte Mohawk School will be closed until May 4, 2020.
This is in keeping with the decision announced by the government of Ontario earlier today. The schools will be providing on line materials to support learning during this period. The health and safety of children is our paramount concern under the circumstances.
Our goal is to connect all learners with the resources they need to reach their full education potential. Staff have been very busy transitioning to virtual methods to ensure that student learning continues. In addition to the Learning At Home resources available on the Ministry of Education page, we are utilizing a learning management tool called Edmodo, which is an educational online learning platform that allows students to access course content uploaded by their teachers. There will be regular outreach with students through Edmodo to ensure students continue to succeed with their studies.
Parents will be provided support to navigate through the Edmodo program with their children.
Thank you,
Kathleen
