TIMETABLE DISTRIBUTION
Thank you to the approximately 700 students who responded to our
email asking about your preference
between a hybrid in-school option and a possible online
option
with synchronous (real time) scheduled online classes.
Your preferences have been noted and with the recent addition of some online
courses in the regular program, guidance counsellors are re-scheduling students
for their preference where possible.
We have continued to process requests as quickly as we can and will deliver the timetables to your TDSB email account as soon as possible. Those
who have not accessed their TDSB email or need to reset their passwords should follow instructions below*
Online classes will begin on Tuesday, September 22nd. Regular classes begin on Thursday, Sept. 17th
but with students spread out over the 6-day cycle only a few students have
classes on the first day.
Please wait until you have your timetable
to determine which days you will be coming in to the school, if at all.
Thank you for your patience. We look forward to welcoming
you back.
*To reset your password please visit https://pims.tdsb.on.ca/Home.aspx/ForgotPassword
To initialize your account or change your password, you must have your TDSB student number (you'll need the last four digits as part of your initial password). These four digits combined with your numeric day of birth and month of birth will be used as a shared secret password. Please visit the website at aw.tdsb.on.ca and click on the “Mail” tab. Students will be prompted to login using their TDSB Username (your 9-digit student number) and initial password (####DDMM@Tdsb). For example, a student born on Dec.31 with a student number of 312345678 would have an initial password of 56783112@Tdsb.

IN-SCHOOL HYBRID MODEL
With the health and safety of staff and students in mind CALC has reduced the number of students in classes and only half the class is present on any in-class day. The rest of the classwork is done in online classes and through home study. Presently, only Option 1 is available although a second option of fully online study is being investigated. Registered students have received emails asking them which would be their preference if an online option becomes available.

The schedule is a 6-Day cycle

The example above shows a student taking 2 courses
o
Students taking 2 courses will
attend CALC in person 2 mornings every 6-Day cycle
o
The remainder of learning is done on-line

*Note that Day 6 falls on the Monday of the second week, and so the next Day 1 begins on Tuesday of the second week
OPTION 2:
Online courses MAY be an option. The TDSB and Adult Schools are looking in to this possibility.
Please Note: Students with classes on a particular day will be screened at the door according to Public Health protocols for Covid-19 screening. The school remains closed except for staff and those students with confirmed appointments or classes.
