Dear Parents & Guardians:

According to the Minister of Education, last minute contract talks between the government and CUPE have broken down.

Barring any major unforeseen developments, that means CUPE will be taking strike action beginning tomorrow.

As a result, all WCDSB elementary and secondary schools will be closed, including our before and after school programs.

All programs at all St. Louis sites will be closed as well. The St. Louis graduation ceremonies scheduled for the evening of Friday, November 4, 2022 will proceed as planned.

As noted previously, our elementary and secondary schools will migrate to remote learning. Devices are being deployed to students who require them, so students can continue to access learning.

Students will be able to login to their respective learning management system. Visit https://www.wcdsb.ca/students/ for instructions on how to login to D2L and Google Classroom. Instructions are available in multiple languages.

Friday, November 4th will be an asynchronous instruction day and students will be able to access materials by 9:30 AM.

Please feel free to contact your school if you have any questions or concerns.

We will post updated information as it becomes available on our WCDSB Labour Updates page at: https://www.wcdsb.ca/about-us/labour-updates/
