We recognize that virtual school remains an important choice for some families. The Ministry of Education has not yet provided direction about virtual schools for September. However, based on the information available at this time, Limestone District School Board is exploring the possibility of partnering with neighbouring public school boards to offer a Kindergarten to Grade 10 virtual school option during the 2023-2024 school year. This regional approach would allow resources and expertise to be pooled to provide online learning. By working together, the school boards could offer a wider range of courses, resources, and support services than they could individually. In addition, a regional virtual school would provide students with access to online education, regardless of where they live.
The purpose of this survey is to gather information from families who intend to enrol their student(s) in virtual school next year. This information will support early planning and staffing for the 2023-2024 school year. We are also gauging interest of students and families to enrol in virtual school French Immersion programming in Kindergarten to Grade 8. If there is sufficient interest, French Immersion programming would be a 50-50 French/English program which is less French minutes than offered for in-person French Immersion programming currently at Limestone DSB.
Please note that this survey form does not replace online registration for students who will be new to the Limestone DSB next year.
Please complete one survey for each student. This form is only intended for families planning to enrol their student in virtual school next year (2023-2024). The survey remains open until 4 p.m. Thursday, March 23, 2023. There will be an optional link at the end of this survey to open a new survey for an additional student.
Thank you for taking the time to complete the following survey.
