Good Afternoon Families,
As you may be aware, contract negotiations between the Canadian Union of Public Employees – Ontario (CUPE) and the Ontario government have yet to produce an agreement.
While we encourage both sides to come to a fair agreement, we do understand that the breakdown in talks could lead to a strike by CUPE as early as Friday, November 4.
As a result, the school board is currently planning for a switch to remote learning for our students, should that become necessary.
We are currently identifying students who do not have home access to the necessary technology and would therefore require a device provided by the school.
Please complete this quick survey (https://lf.wcdsb.ca/forms/APC052-05F) to help us prepare for distribution of devices to families who require this assistance. Please note that we have a limited number of devices, please only complete the survey if your child will not be able to access the remote learning without a school provided device. If this is a need for your child, please complete the form by noon, Wednesday November 2nd. If a strike seems like it is going to occur and we are deploying devices, they will be sent home with students on Thursday.
Thank you in advance for your patience as we work to ensure our students have the resources they need to continue learning during this uncertain time.
