Borrowing Technology from Brownridge

29 Dec

Good afternoon Brownridge!

We hope this email finds you well. Families whose children are presently attending school in person should have received a second email from the school today with information about borrowing technology for their child/ren for virtual learning from January 4-8. Between January 4, 2021, until January 8, 2021, all elementary schools will be closed to students. All students will participate in online learning during this time. At this time, elementary schools are expected to reopen to students on January 11, 2021.

Only families who require technology should fill out the survey. If you have done so already, you will be emailed information about a date and time for pick up. If you have any questions, please email brownridge.ps@yrdsb.ca.

Be well and stay safe!

Financial Support Available for Parents/Guardians

3 Dec

The government is providing financial support to help parents and guardians with additional costs during the 2020-2021 school year during the second wave of COVID-19. 

Eligible parents or guardians will receive a one-time payment of:

  • $200 for each child up to age 12
  • $250 for each child or youth up to age 21 years with special needs

This is a new program, and all parents or guardians who are residents of Ontario with eligible children will need to submit a new application for each child.

As of today, eligible parents or guardians can go to Ontario.ca/SupportforLearners for more information and to apply for the one-time financial support. The deadline to apply is January 15, 2021.
