In a move that is bound to create chaos, parents with children at Waterloo public elementary schools will have to wait until classes return on Tuesday to find out who will be teaching their children.
Late Thursday afternoon, the Waterloo Region District School Board announced that they will not be posting classroom or teacher assignments via its online portal School-Day this year.
“We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause. We know that some students will experience feelings of anxiety and worry as the start of the school year approaches,” the board said.
“School administrators and staff will have a safe and caring plan in place to welcome students on the first day of school.”
Global News has reached out to the board to find out why the last-minute change was made.
“Your child’s school will be posting information about how your child will be introduced to their classroom teacher on the first day of school,” a release from the school.
The WRDSB says parents should refer to their school’s website for further information on how they will find out about classroom assignments.
