Staff and Student Development Days
Posted February 9, 2022
Dear Eastwood families,
We are so happy to have our students back in our semester 2 classes. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you of some important dates that are coming up this semester. On these instructional support and blended learning dates, students may choose to stay home to learn. We have found from our experience in the first semester that these days can be tremendously beneficial to our students’ well-being and provide an opportunity for catch up and deeper understanding on the topics covered in class.
Instructional Support Days
Secondary schools will not revert to exam days with the Semester 2 schedule. Instructional Support Days will continue to be offered as they are currently scheduled on our ministry-approved school calendar. The dates for the Semester 2 Instructional Support Days are April 19 and 20, and June 22, 23 and 24. There are no synchronous (live) class meetings on these days.
