SMLS Health & Safety Plan and COVID-19 Updates for 2020-2021
SMLS welcomes all of our students back to school for the 2020-2021 school year. Our highest priority remains the health and safety of our girls and our school community. In September 2020, all girls from Preschool to SS12 returned to school five days a week to enjoy a robust academic and co-curricular program, while maintaining physical distancing and cohorting. A number of new safety protocols and routines have been developed.
Update January 2021: the provincial government has stated that publicly funded and private schools in Halton will remain closed at this time and a return-to-school date has not been announced. The SMLS Remote Learning Plan continues for girls in JK to SS12.
