Secondary Remote Learning Program (SRLP) – 2023/2024 School Year

NOTE: You must contact your Guidance Counsellor as soon as possible if you are interested in requesting SRLP for next school year.

If you are considering SRLP for 2023/2024, please read the information below:

As a Secondary Remote Learning student in Grade 9 or 10 you will attend online virtual courses taught synchronously by WRDSB teachers, but not necessarily from your home secondary school. All students in the SRLP will receive their coursework through online tools and will participate in classes synchronously during the school day. New this year for grade 9 and 10, please connect with your Guidance counselor to learn how you can attend the school in a classroom setting for your remote learning, and how you could join some courses in person. Specialist High Skills Majors (SHSM), Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), Integrated Arts, French Immersion/Extended French or other school specialized programs will NOT be available through the SRLP. In addition, students selecting the SRLP will not have the option of working tech free.

For grade 11 and 12 students who would like fully or partially remote for their courses, we are shifting this year to a fully asynchronous elearn course.  You will have the opportunity to receive in person support in a student success classroom should you choose to do so. You may also connect with your Guidance counselor to register for some in person courses in addition to the virtual elearn options. There are many courses that could enrich your experience and assist in your post secondary goals that you may want to learn about (ex: SHSM, COOP, OYAP, Dual Credit).

The following remote program course offerings summary provides you with the information you need regarding the courses that will be offered in the remote learning program.  It is important to note that our remote learning course offerings are limited compared to our in-person course offerings.  In addition, these course offerings are conditional upon sufficient enrollment and are therefore subject to change.
