During these challenging times we want to reassure you that the Campbell Children’s School Authority is doing everything we can to follow the direction of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health and ensure all considerations put forth are met.
For more information about what steps that are taking place to ensure the safety of our students and community you will find an announcement from Education Minister Stephen Lecce here: Minister Letter to Parents. In this letter you will also find information about an on-line learning portal provided by the ministry which is available at: www.ontario.ca/learn-at-home.

March 12th, 2020 – CAMPBELL CHILDREN’S SCHOOL CLOSURE NOTICE
As you have likely heard by now, the Education Minister and Provincial Health Officials have just announced that all Ontario schools are to close from March 14 to April 5, 2020.
We are learning about this at the same time as the public and will share more information and details as they become known to us. These updates will be posted to our website and through Seesaw as soon as possible. The significant impact this decision will have on families, students, staff, as well as the broader community, is enormous. Per the Ministries direction, this precaution is necessary to keep everyone safe.
We appreciate that this is a very stressful time for everyone involved and thank you in advance for your patience.
