NNDSB Contingency Plan moves PSHS to Remote Learning
Message to First Nation Communities
Although significant efforts have been made by staff, Parry Sound High School (PSHS) is not currently ready to accommodate staff and students.
The board continues to work with the Town of Parry Sound to ensure that all items of concern are addressed to facilitate a return of staff and students to PSHS in a timely manner.
After thoughtful consideration, Near North District School Board (NNDSB) has decided to move secondary students to remote learning. Though the list of unresolved items at PSHS is small, administration made the decision to give staff, students and families time to prepare for a remote start to the school year.
This move to remote learning affects Grades 9-12 students at PSHS only. Students in Grades JK-6 will attend school at McDougall Public School, and students in Grades 7-8 who would have attended the new JK-12 school will attend school at Nobel Public School.
Individual school principals will be reaching out to their communities, including Nation families, with more detailed information and guidance. NNDSB will post an updated contingency plan and revise the JK-12 Parry Sound school page on Aug. 27 to reflect this information.
We value our partnership with First Nation communities and remain committed to transparent communication and inclusive planning.
