Toronto school moving to remote learning as COVID-19 cases investigated

A school in Toronto’s east end is moving to remote learning due to a COVID-19 investigation.

Toronto Public Health (TPH) said on Twitter that it recommended that students at Grenoble Public School, located near Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue, be temporarily dismissed from in-person classes and activities starting Tuesday.

“We are recommending a whole school dismissal as a precautionary measure to protect staff, students and the community from further COVID-19 transmission within the school,” TPH said.

The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) confirmed in a tweet that all students are being dismissed and moving to remote learning as TPH investigates.

“We’ll work closely with our school partners to determine when in-person learning will resume.”
