Parents of students at a high school in Stittsville set to open this September are concerned with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board's decision to delay the opening and keep Grade 9 learning online at home.Parents of students at a high school in Stittsville set to open this September are concerned with the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board's decision to delay the opening and keep Grade 9 learning online at home.
Students planning to attend grades 7 and 8 at Maplewood are instead starting their school year with adjusted hours at D. A. Moodie School, but Grade 9 students will be attending virtual classes online. Her daughter is also being impacted because she will now begin her Grade 8 year at Moodie, with new bell times to accommodate busing schedules. School will now run 7:45 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., which is 15 minutes earlier than originally planned.
Edwards said many students struggled with online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and it should not be a default solution.
