INFORMATION FOR ADSB FAMILIES RE: ACCESS TO REMOTE LEARNING FROM FEBRUARY TO JUNE 2023

however, we also recognize that this is a decision based on family circumstances. As communicated
to ADSB families in August 2022, the Ministry of Education requires school boards to provide the
option for remote learning. Parents/guardians requesting this model of schooling from February to
June 2023 must opt out of in-person learning, recognizing the following remote learning parameters:
