Voluntary School Attendance

Voluntary School Attendance for Students

The return to school in the fall of 2020-21 will be voluntary and based on parent choice. For parents who choose not to send their child back to school, BGCDSB has created a protocol (see Appendix O) for parents to follow to inform schools of their intent to opt-out of in-school learning. This requirement will be in place for as long as public health circumstances require adapted delivery of education. It is important to note that parents can opt to have their child return to in-school learning at any time, but notification to the school should be made via Voluntary School Attendance Google Form or by contacting the school one week prior to returning.
