The Waterloo Region District School Board (WRDSB) has given parents an extra two days to indicate whether they will be sending their kids back to school or not.
The board says parents had asked for more time to formulate a decision so it is now asking them to provide an answer by filling out a form by 4 p.m. on Aug. 13.

The form will need to be filled out separately for each child.
The WRDSB has also created a frequently asked questions page that attempts to provide information so parents can make a better-informed decision on the issue.
It answers questions such as, “Does my child have to wear a mask at school?” and “What is a hybrid or adaptive learning model?”
