DATE: March 31, 2020

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Today the Government of Ontario announced an extension to the closure of schools due to COVID-19. All Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) schools will remain closed to staff until May 1, and to students until May 4.

Fenelon Falls Secondary School will remain closed until May 4th, which in turn requires the cancellation of Kawartha Lakes Film Circuits movie screening series "Films by the Falls" originally scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th.

“The decision to extend school closures was not made lightly. We know from the medical experts that the next two weeks will be critical in the fight against COVID-19 and that’s why we’re taking further action to keep our kids safe and healthy by having them stay home,” said Premier Ford. “At the same time, we cannot put the school year in jeopardy. That’s why we’re providing additional tools for at-home learning and ensuring students from kindergarten to Grade 12 to postsecondary education can finish their academic year and get the credits they need to graduate.”

Public schools [ in the Trillium Lakelands District] will remain closed to teachers until Friday, May 1, 2020, and to students until Monday, May 4, 2020. As these dates come closer, this decision will be re-evaluated based on public health advice. The closure may be extended if necessary to “protect the health and safety of students, families and staff”.
