Elementary Virtual School 2023-2024

The Ministry of Education (MoE) mandated for the 2022-2023 school year that school boards were to 

provide a virtual learning option for students. While we continue to await specific direction from the 

MoE, we plan to proceed with a virtual learning option as this continues to be in the best interests of 

our students, families and staff. This will also align us with the decisions of other boards. 

For the 2023-2024 school year, YRDSB will continue to offer Elementary Virtual School (EVS). For 

secondary students, we are currently assessing the viable options in how to best offer virtual learning, 

taking into account the projected enrolment.

Elementary Virtual School (EVS)

• Please note that due to limited enrolment, French Immersion programming will not be offered in 

EVS in 2023-2024.

• Families currently enrolled in EVS are being asked if they wish to remain enrolled next school 

year.

• Students currently attending in-person schools may contact their home school to request a 

transfer to the Elementary Virtual School for the entire 2023-2024 school year.
