Please see the information below about the expansion of the U-Connect online learning program:
U-Connect Explores Full-Time Online Learning Program – Grades 1-7
Is your child in need of an education program that offers more flexibility and continues to meet their educational needs? U-Connect is inviting students and families to see if a full-time, home-based online learning program for students in grades 1-7 is right for them. U-Connect is gathering feedback to explore the potential of a new program that is 100 per cent home-based and online, offering a more flexible schedule and environment that is tailored to a student’s learning style, and allowing more time for their extracurricular passions. Interested students and their families are encouraged to complete an Expression of Interest online form here. To learn more, visit this webpage here.
Have a great long weekend!
Susanna Eppich, Principal
