2021 school year. Looking ahead to the Fall, there is still some uncertainty about what the next school year
brings. With the announcement by the Ministry, indicating that there will be a Learn @ Home option for
students next year, creating classes for September is going to be a very challenging and fluid process for our
staff. We have over 900 students who we will need to be placed and we have had staffing changes
consistently throughout the pandemic. Therefore, we will not be able to accommodate any parent requests
for classroom placements next year. If you have concerns about your child’s class placement for September,
please reach out to your child’s current teacher to discuss his or her needs. Please watch for communication
from the school board in the weeks/months ahead in preparation for the Fall.<p><br></p>

make this decision due to the numbers of vehicles speeding through this area, creating unsafe conditions.
There have also been numerous occasions where people have parked in the fire safety zones preventing
Emergency vehicles from accessing these locations. Visitors can access our parking lot behind the school
using the Miller Park Avenue entrance during school hours. We would ask that parents/guardians please

blocked. The parking lot continues be closed from 3:20 p.m. – 3:45 p.m. each day to ensure minimal traffic
on school property during dismissal time. We have connected with South Simcoe Police and By-Law officers
who have informed us that they will be monitoring our school neighbourhood regularly during school entry
