Cornerstone and Holy Family school divisions moving to remote learning after Easter break

The Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division and the South East Cornerstone Public School Division have announced they will be moving to remote, online learning for a couple of weeks after spring break.

The Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division and the South East Cornerstone Public School Division have announced they will be moving to remote, online learning for a couple of weeks after spring break.

Due to rising positive cases of COVID-19, including the variants of concern, all schools in Cornerstone and Holy Family will be moving to Level 4, remote on-line learning, starting April 12 and continuing until April 23. This is a joint decision between the Cornerstone board of education, Holy Family board and the local medical health officers for our area that was announced Thursday afternoon. 

“This change is driven by the increasing cases across the southeast that have resulted in a significant increase in active cases that are not limited to one geographical area suggesting there is a high risk of community spread,” stated a news release.

The move to remote learning is one more option in ongoing efforts to control this pandemic’s spread. The move to remote learning is in addition to existing public health measures, including limiting your bubble size and content, wearing a mask in public, washing your hands regularly, staying isolated, and getting tested as soon as possible if you are sick.

Cornerstone and Holy Family recognize and appreciate that this is challenging for families.

“Our top priority is the health and safety of all our staff, students, and communities as we strive to provide the best education possible during these difficult times.”

April 1 was the final day before the Easter break for southeast schools.
