As of April 5, 2021, all D181 schools are operating in a full in-person/full remote learning model.

#D181Healthy
Keeping our students, staff, and schools #d181healthy
As part of our ongoing efforts to promote a culture of safety in D181 schools, we've created a series of videos on various topics related to the reopening of schools. Our latest videos highlight Health and Safety Protocols (1) & Proper Face Covering Usage (2) and Proper Handwashing (3). We will continue to share these messages with our families, students, and staff throughout the year. Thank you!
