This is just an update on the preparations we are making at Clarington Central for school to start next week.
First Day of School
School hours are still 8:17 am to 2:17 pm. When students arrive, they are to go directly to their classrooms. Signs are placed around the building with the entrance your child should use. They will need to know the teacher's name for their period 1 class. If your child does not know their first period class, they can see this on EDSBY. See the instructions below. Staff will be available to help in the mornings of each day to help students. Before coming to school each student must Covid-19 Self-Assessment.
As a reminder, the staggered entry looks like this:
Monday, Sept. 14th- Grade 12 ONLY
Tuesday, Sept. 15th - Grade 9 ONLY
Wednesday, Sept. 16th Grade 10 ONLY
Thursday, Sept. 17th - Grade 11 ONLY
Friday, Sept. 18th- all students will attend school
Each grade will have a day to reorientate back to school and to work through some of the changes to schooling in Ontario. Please note if you are in combined with multiple grades, please attend the day the lowest combined grade is to be at school. For example, if you are in AMU3M1/4M1-01, a combined grade 11 and 12 music class, you attend on Thursday, Sept. 17.
Also note, if your first class is a grade above or below your current grade, you must attend on the grade level of the course you are taking in that period.
LLS will begin full time on Monday, Sept. 14.
Every student will not be on the same schedule for the day. THis will allow greater distancing in hallways during lunch and breaks. Our start and end times will not be different but we will stagger the release of classes at the end of the day. Each class has been assigned a specific schedule and your child’s teacher will review the schedule your child will be following in that class. The schedules are listed below.
