News Stories

At the end of last week, I shared information around the delayed return to school for students and the implementation of additional health and safety measures. Since that time, more information has become available, and I would like to share an update with you. 

I hope this letter finds you healthy, safe and in the company of loved ones. On Wednesday, Minister of Education Jennifer Whiteside and Provincial Health Officer (PHO) Dr. Bonnie Henry held a joint news announcement regarding the delayed return to school for students for the remainder of the 2021/2022 school year. To allow schools to adapt to the impacts of the Omicron variant that is impacting our province, all K-12 students will return to school on Monday, January 10, 2022.

Division 11 is very lucky to be part of the Paws4Stories program through the St.John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program. Maizy the dog and her owner Laurie visit Division 11 every Tuesday. The children in the class read books to Maizy and get to pet her gently. We love Maizy!
