BARRIE, ONT. Simcoe Muskoka students will not return to in-person learning on Monday. The province announced Wednesday that over 100,000 students across Ontario could return to school, but online learning will continue for the rest of southern Ontario. Pauline Stevenson, communications manager with Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board, said the announcement was disappointing. Our primary concern at this point is that students continue to make daily connections with their school. We know that some students struggle in this remote learning environment - they may have academic difficulties, but equally concerning are issues related to mental health and wellness. Stevenson adds that the board would reach out to parents once they have more details from the ministry of education.
