OCSTA Statement in Response to Provincial COVID-19 Measures

“The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education in Ontario has been significant. Temporary province-wide school closures to help stop the spread of COVID-19 has created an unprecedented situation for students, parents and staff.

Catholic school boards will continue to follow the directions of the provincial government and local health officials to support the safety and well-being of students and families.

OCSTA is working closely with the Minister of Education, government staff and partners in education to identify timely and appropriate solutions and strategies to support students and families during these challenging times.

We encourage students and parents to follow closely the communications being shared by local Catholic school boards with respect to educational programming, services and supports.”
