Upper Grand Secondary students can switch their mode of learning

Secondary students with The Upper Grand District School board have one last chance to change their learning mode for the remainder of the year.

Students can select either in person or remote schooling, but the choice will remain in place for all of semester 2. That will help schools meet the needs of students with respect to course selection to try to ensure students have the courses they need by the end of the school year.

Parents/guardians of secondary students wishing to change their mode of learning must complete the Secondary Intent to Change Survey between January 4 and 11.

A media release from the school board says "unlike Semester 1 where students had the option of switching between quadmester 1 and 2, the January survey will be the only remaining opportunity for students to change their learning mode. In other words, where a student begins Semester 2 is where they will remain for the rest of the school year."
