Teacher Absences

There may be times when your child's teacher must be absent due to illness or other reasons. 

When this happens, we do our best to ensure a supply teacher is assigned to cover the class for the day. Unfortunately, due to ongoing demands across our Board, supply teachers are not always available to cover every absence on any given day. 

When a supply teacher is assigned, they will take attendance and follow the teacher's plans for the day. If a supply teacher is not available your child will work on asynchronous activities posted by the teacher. 

Regardless of whether a supply teacher has been assigned to cover the classroom teacher's absence, your child's core French, Drama/ Dance, Health and Physical Education and Music classes will proceed with synchronous instruction as scheduled. 

We will communicate with parents and guardians when a classroom teacher is absent, and let you know if a supply teacher has been assigned.
