LONDON, ONT. -- The Thames Valley District School Board sent a message home to parents and guardians of their students to prepare for the possibility of remote learning. Although there has been no direction for schools to move to remote learning after the break, the Minister of Education has recommended all school boards encourage students to take anything home with them that they may need should the changeover happen. Families will be informed through a SchoolMessenger notification should changes take place, the message stated. "If in-person changes to remote learning in the new year, our team will be prepared to deploy technology based identified needs."
