Hello A.Y. Jackson Students, Parents, and Guardians,
As you have heard by now, Ottawa students will be returning to in-person learning effective Monday, February 1! On Monday students will attend COHORT A/SUBJECT 1 classes and our classrooms will be open at 9:15 a.m. We are all very excited to be welcoming our students back to A.Y.! In addition to information provided below, students have already received an individualized message with their Quadmester 3 courses, teachers, and locations via their student@ocdsb.ca email address. If for some reason, students are unsure of their class location Monday morning for Cohort A/Subject 1 the Admin Team will be greeting students and we can provide this information.
A reminder to students, as we did in the fall, to please use the entry/exit closest to your classroom. We also need students to please bring all textbooks, Chromebooks, and learning items they have borrowed during Quadmester 2 with them to school on the first day of their return.
Our daily timetable will return to our established in-person model. We will resume alternating cohorts with Cohort A attending Subject 1 on Monday, February 1. For the cohort learning at home teach day, A.Y. Jackson teachers will be available for online support via our Virtual Resource Centre with 4 support rooms. Students can access the VRC rooms here.
