eLearning 2022-23 - Ministry of Education Update for eLearning
On February 1, 2022 the Ministry of Education issued the Policy and Procedures Memorandum (PPM 167) regarding the Online learning graduation requirement.
Beginning with the cohort of students who entered Grade 9 in the 2020-21 school year, all students must earn a minimum of two online learning credits as part of the
requirements for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma unless they have been opted out or exempted in accordance with the processes described in the memorandum (PPM167).
Adult learners entering the Ontario secondary school system in 2023-24 or later will also be required to meet this graduation requirement unless they opt themselves out of the requirement in accordance with the processes described in this memorandum.
In order to opt of the online learning graduation requirement, students may download the opt-out document and return it in to the main office. For choosing e-learning courses, students will need to book an appointment with their guidance counsellor, although the selection of courses is very limited.
Forms for opting out are available on the Guidance Google classroom.

COVID-19 Information
General Guidelines:
Any person accessing a school should perform a COVID-19 self-assessment before arriving at the school. The Ministry of Health’s self-assessment can be accessed here: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/.
If the self-assessment directs you to stay home and monitor your health or to get tested for COVID-19, do not come to the school.
Entry shall be denied to any person who has any of the symptoms outlined in the http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/publichealth/coronavirus/docs/2019_reference_doc_symptoms.pdf on the Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 website:
Common symptoms of COVID-19 include fever (temperature of 37.8°C or greater), new or worsening cough, and shortness of breath.
Other symptoms of COVID-19 can include sore throat, difficulty swallowing, new olfactory or taste disorders, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.
Entry shall also be denied to any person who has been in contact with anyone suspected or confirmed of having COVID-19 in the past 14 days.
Although it is important to maintain physical distancing of 2 meters at all times, people should consider wearing a non-medical mask/face covering as an extra layer of protection where physical distancing may be difficult. Wearing a homemade mask is beneficial to protecting others from you in the case you have the virus but not showing signs or symptoms.
