With 8 cases of COVID-19 now active in the school community, the Thames Valley District School Board has announced the temporarily closure of Port Burwell Public School.
The board administration has determined that school operations and instruction poses a challenge as the current number of cases impact several classes.
Beginning today, students at Port Burwell Public School will temporarily transition from in-person to virtual learning, with the school set to reopen on Monday, November 29th.
