The Waterloo Region District School Board says high school students won’t learn until next week whether they will be in Cohort A or Cohort B.
“We appreciate that families are very anxious to receive this information and acknowledge the frustration families and students are experiencing as we finalize student timetables and determine who is part of Cohort A and Cohort B,” the board said in a statement late Thursday.
“School staff are working hard to deliver accurate information to ensure the start to the 2020-2021 school year runs smoothly.”

The students who don’t arrive on buses will learn which cohort they are in the day before classes are set to begin so Grade 9s will find out on Tuesday and those in the upper grades will be informed on Thursday.
Students who are bused to school can see which cohort they belong to through the Student Transportation Services of Waterloo Region website.
