Bracing for an extended school break: period of virtual learning possible

Bracing for an extended school break: period of virtual learning possible

CTV
Thursday, December 9, 2021 1:36 AM GMT

The head of the union representing London-area public elementary teachers says virtual learning period could be coming.

While the schoolyard play continues for now, the yards could be silent for an extended period of time after the holiday break.

"We've heard nothing formal. Of course, there are conversations and speculations and rumours that we hear and where there's smoke there's usually a little bit of fire," said Craig Smith, president of the Thames Valley local of the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO).

He's expecting some form of announcement in the near future that may include a two-week virtual learning period after Christmas.

A similar step was taken after last Christmas with the expectation there would be spread through family gatherings and parties. It was hoped infections could be identified and students put in isolation before a return to school.

"My understanding is the medical officers of health province-wide are being called in to a meeting within the next day or so. So we may see some communication about what the next week and a bit looks like, and more importantly I think, what they're looking at past the Christmas break,” said Smith.

The province is reporting 260 active outbreaks connected to schools, with 239 linked to elementary schools and uncertainty about Omicron is persisting.

There are reports that parents have already begun keeping students at home in advance of the Christmas break.
