Edna Staebler Return to School     Please click this link to view this message as a document

In the best interest of our students (attending Edna Staebler Public School in-person for the Fall 2020), we have balanced our class numbers for our staggered start groups for the first two weeks and have adjusted slightly from the schedule provided by the Board.   

We believe that this two week time period to transition gradually back to school will provide students and staff with more focused time for the necessary teaching, learning and practicing of the health and safety protocols, in smaller groups of students. Students will alternate in attendance from Tuesday, September 8 through to Thursday, September 17. All students will attend school together on Friday, September 18 and onwards.  The school times will remain the same (Entry 8:35am / Dismissal 2:55pm).

The staggered start will mean that half of every class, from Kindergarten to Grade 8, will attend on alternate days. As a reference for you, a visual of this schedule is provided below.

Students with Special Education Learning Needs

Students with special education learning needs who are in our congregated settings or in

specialized classrooms will attend school every day. Students with complex special education needs who are in congregated classrooms will have the option to attend every day, as will students in regular classrooms who have similar needs.

Students in Extended Day 

Students who have registered for our Extended Day program will attend full days starting on Wednesday, September 16, 2020. The Extended Day program will not be available prior to September 16. 

Thank you for your understanding as we prepare to welcome our students back to Edna Staebler with a focus on health, safety and student well-being.  

More communications about return-to-school will be shared with families as it becomes available.   Please check www.wrdsb.ca/returntoschool for the most updated information from WRDSB.
