The DSBN has launched a new website to make sure students don’t fall behind during the COVID-19 crisis.

Learn from Home includes online resources for elementary and high school students.

It’s organized by grade, subject and area of interest.

It also includes special education and mental health support.

New resources will be added on a weekly basis.

Phase two of the DSBN’s Learn from Home plan will include teacher-led instruction.

Teachers will be contacting families starting on Monday.

The school board is also working on ways to provide families without a computer or internet with devices and online access.
