January 4th is the 4th  day of the year. 

The holiday break is over for students but they’re not returning to class, at least not in person.

As part of the provincewide lockdown that started on Boxing Day, high school students don’t return to class in person until January 25, and elementary students have a week of remote learning before going to back class on January 11.

Lambton Kent District School Board Director of Education John Howitt said when the bell rings Monday morning, there will be a short class for all students, junior kindergarten to grade 12.

Director of Education for the St. Clair Catholic District School Board Deb Crawford said students will be contacted by their teachers Monday to make sure they’re ready for synchronous learning beginning Tuesday, January 5.

Parents can visit the the St. Clair Catholic District School Board website or the Lambton Kent District School Board site for more information.

There’s no change for students already enrolled in virtual learning.
