This year the Ministry of Education has added the requirement for online learning to graduate. Beginning with the cohort of students who entered Grade 9 in the 2020-21 school year, all students must earn a minimum of two online learning credits as part of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma unless they have been opted out or exempted.
Current grade 10 students have been granted one online learning credit from the remote learning that they have completed due to Covid. Current grade 8 and 9 students will be required to complete two online learning credits to graduate. See the link below if you would like to learn more.
If you would like to opt out, please complete the attached form and return to the Guidance Office. You will only be required to submit this form once throughout your high school career.
