Summer learning is going virtual for a local school board.
The Algoma District School Board says it's continuing to provide "summer learning", with over 275 elementary students and over 300 secondary students taking part across the district using online resources.
Students are being divided into groups of eight to ten - with one-on-one instruction time, as well - offering the Primary Literacy program for Grades 1 and 2, Junior Numeracy for Grades 3 to 5, the Junior or Intermediate English Language Learners program for Grades 6 to 8, and - for secondary students - an expanded offering of eLearning courses requiring a 5.5-hour daily commitment.
Those participating will be provided with a device by the board, if needed.
It is also touting additional learning ideas for the summer months, including "Summer Learning Bingo" for Kindergarten to Grade 8.
