Due to the ongoing labour actions that are occurring across the province involving the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF), parents will notice a change to their child’s most recent report card.

As part of the OSSTF provincial withdrawal of services, Bluewater District School Board secondary teachers will not be providing comments on the provincial report card. Secondary teachers have been directed by provincial OSSTF to provide only subject marks, attendance, and learning skills with no accompanying comments.

Developmental Learning (DL) report cards will be completed as usual, and will continue to include comments. We recognize that parents/guardians and students value the additional insights that teachers commonly provide as part of report cards, and regret that the current provincial labour situation has not allowed for the inclusion of comments.
