Transition to School Resources

Transition to School Resources

COVID-19 Updates and Resources

The Near North District School Board has created resources to help support students with special education needs return to school.  Many of these resources would be appropriate for all students.  There are social stories, posters, information graphics and videos on the topics of:

Social Etiquette and the “Touchless Hello”, Mask wearing, Information about COVID-19, Covering your Cough, Handwashing and Sanitizing.  There is more than one version of some of these resources to be more appropriate for students of different ages.

The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit has updated their guidelines for returning to school after experiencing symptoms.  For more information, please visit their web page on Schools/Child Care and COVID-19.
