Wi-Fi access has been restored at Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) schools; however, it remains restricted to internal systems such as school office tools and email. External websites, including Google and YouTube, are still inaccessible for now, though this may change in the coming days.
Following a security-driven password reset, staff regained access to email and UC accounts last week. The IT team is now working on restoring student access and will provide an update once the process is complete.
The My Family Room service remains unavailable. Parents and guardians are advised to contact their child’s school directly for attendance-related matters.
Lunch program availability is at the discretion of individual schools. Parents should reach out directly for details.
Students enrolled in UCDSB eLearning courses have faced challenges accessing their coursework since the winter break. To ensure fairness, no final exams or projects will be required for first-semester eLearning courses, and final grades will be based on work submitted before December 20, 2024.
The UCDSB is also collaborating with other school boards to ensure that students enrolled in external eLearning courses are not academically disadvantaged.
Report cards will be distributed on Thursday, February 20, 2025, instead of February 14. This revised date remains in compliance with Ministry of Education guidelines and will not affect students applying to post-secondary institutions.
The UCDSB acknowledges the inconvenience caused by the cyber incident and thanks families for their patience as efforts continue to restore full services.
