Whether due to illness, a medical appointment or other important events, there are times your child will need to be away from school. To ensure student safety as outlined in the Greater Essex County District School Board's (GECSDB) Safe Arrivals Program, it is very important that you notify us if your child will be late or absent.
Report an absence
If your child is going to be late or absent, please notify us through our online EDSBY system, or call us at (519) 966-3890. Reminder that a message can be left on the school attendance line at any time.
COVID-19 self-assessment and testing
It is recommended that staff, students, parents, guardians, contractors and visitors continue to self-screen every day before attending school using the COVID-19 school and child care screening tool designated by the local public health unit, in alignment with current provincial guidance. You can also view how to use the self-assessment tool on the GECDSB YouTube channel.
Follow public health guidance, students and staff should stay home if they are feeling ill to prevent the spread of illness.
