Schools are connecting with families in Niagara to see what their technology needs are.

Students will move forward with online learning in both the public and Catholic school boards in the Region.

The province announced schools will remain closed until May 4th, or longer if necessary.

The DSBN is rolling out its new online resources and teachers are reaching out to students.

Niagara Catholic is assessing the technology needs of families and will be providing further resources soon.

All families in Niagara should be hearing from their child’s teacher, or school principal very soon if they haven’t already.

Private schools in Niagara remain closed until at least April 13th under Ontario’s State of Emergency.
