​​​​The health and safety of students and staff are the top priorities for the Lambton Kent District School Board (LKDSB). To support ongoing monitoring and transparency related to COVID-19 impacts on schools, the Ministry of Education is requiring schools to monitor absenteeism rates and report on student and staff absences, and school closures daily. 

This information is publicly available on the Ontario.ca website (search Lambton Kent District School Board or individual school name).

Any schools with school absenteeism at a threshold of approximately 30% above the school's baseline number must report this information to the local Public Health unit. Further directions will be provided by public health, including whether any communication to the school community is required. LKDSB will follow the direction of Public Health regarding public communications, if necessary.

This webpage will be updated to indicate whether the school is open or closed.

Throughout the school year, we continue to work closely with and take direction from Chatham-Kent and Lambton Public Health.

Notice: The Ontario government has updated the COVID-19 case, contact and outbreak management process. As such, the Ministry of Education has suspended reporting of COVID-19 cases in schools, including for school and Board locations in the Lambton Kent District School Board.

Families are encouraged to remain vigilant and follow the health and safety protocols in place to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19, including completing and following the directions of the daily school screening assessment tool. If you have specific health-related questions about your child, please contact your health care provider or local health unit.

For up-to-date community information, visit the Chatham-Kent Public Health and Lambton Public Health websites.

Together, we will continue to support a safe operation of schools.
