November 20, 2022 - A tentative agreement has been reached between the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and the province. This means there will be no strike tomorrow and all of our schools will be open for in-person learning for students.

Today, CUPE filed a five-day notice provincially for strike, meaning they may be on strike beginning Monday, Nov. 21, 2022. If a deal is not reached prior to Monday, we will close most of our schools and move students to online learning. More details: rrdsb.com/labour_relatio…

Today, CUPE announced they will be ending their withdrawal of service across the province on November 8, 2022. With these essential staff members back in our buildings, we will be able to reopen our schools to in person learning for students tomorrow (Nov. 8).

CUPE has provided notice that they will begin a full withdrawal of service across the province starting on Friday (Nov. 4). Most RRDSB schools and programs will be closed to students on Friday, and will move to remote learning next week. Learn more at: rrdsb.com/labour_relatio…
