Secondary Remote Learning (Grade 9 to Grade 12)

WRDSB’s Secondary Remote Learning Program (SRLP) will be connected to a secondary school that runs it as an alternative learning track program. Teachers will be assigned as dedicated teachers of remote learning courses and students will be part of dedicated remote learning classes. Families selecting remote learning will be notified of their child’s remote placement.

The SRLP will follow the same school calendar and daily schedule as our regular in-person school programming. The specific daily schedule is not yet finalized and will be shared with students and families as soon as possible.

The Secondary Remote Learning Program will provide

• Limited course options at each grade level for each pathway
• Secondary ESL/ELD program with fewer course options
• Programs NOT available: Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM), French Immersion, Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), Integrated Arts Program (IAP)

There will be a mix of live teaching time and independent work time for each course. Students will cover all the curriculum for a course as they would in a physical school. Students will receive the same report cards as in-person school. The remote learning classroom will use Google Classroom or Brightspace as the learning platforms.

Secondary students have already completed course selections for next year and for those students and families opting to attend the remote learning, please note that every effort will be made to offer courses that students require for their chosen pathway to graduation.

Where students require specific courses not available through the Secondary Remote Learning Program, they will then have the option to select from a catalogue of E-learning courses.

We will provide families with any updates from the Ministry of Education that may impact what in-person or remote learning will look like in September.
