Elizabeth Ziegler Public School will remain closed for in-person learning from Monday, March 17 to Friday, March 28, 2025.
School Remains Closed
The closure of Elizabeth Ziegler Public School will be extended up to March 28, 2025, as WRDSB Facility Services staff and contractors continue their work:
- Conducting comprehensive structural testing
- Evaluating and determining next steps
The decision to temporarily close Elizabeth Ziegler Public School has been made based on direction from professional staff and structural engineers to ensure the safety and well-being of students and staff.
School closures are disruptive for students and families and we appreciate everyone’s understanding during this difficult time. Staff and contractors continue to work tirelessly in an effort to open the school as quickly as possible.
Supporting Student Learning from March 17 to March 28
Monday, March 17
On Monday, families and students will be able to pick up a Chromebook or iPad at Elizabeth Ziegler PS. These devices will be temporarily loaned to students to allow them to continue their learning remotely.
Device pickup times will be shared with families by or before Friday, March 14, 2025.
Support is available for families from the Tech@Home website.
Tuesday, March 18 to Friday, March 28
Teachers will teach synchronously and will be available to students during the regular school day hours on their Google Classrooms. Students are invited to participate as they are able.
Families may also choose to support their child’s learning through asynchronous resources from their virtual learning environment, where applicable, and/or WRDSB@Home for resources. Students may also work on previously-assigned work or spend time reviewing material previously covered.
