Welcome to the Limestone District School Board’s Elementary Virtual School. This page will be updated regularly with important information for students and families. Please make note of daily schedule, contact information and technical help support in the right-hand menus.
Elementary Virtual School Structure:
We will follow a balance day format just like in-person classes. The daily schedule is available in the right-hand menu. Classroom schedules within the school timetable will be shared by teachers when school starts.
All classes will use the Microsoft Teams (MS) Teams application. Students will receive a MS Teams invite from their classroom teacher to join the class for the first day. Students must use their LDSB log-in information (student id and password) to join their classroom. If you do not have this information or cannot remember it, please contact ITS Support Centre at 613-417-3559.
Information on classroom procedures and norms will be forwarded in the coming days and classroom teachers will provide follow-on instructions when classes begin. If you need help with MS Teams, please review the Virtual School/Remote Learning Technology Support webpage.
Technical Resources/Support
Students and parents/guardians are asked to please review the video conferencing guides (right-hand menu) in advance. Students and families are also encouraged to review the Technical Support document (right-hand menu) and visit the Virtual School/Remote Learning Technology Support webpage If students are having difficulty logging in, are new to Limestone, or require technical support, please contact our ITS team at 613-417-3559 Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Technology
Devices
It is recommended that you have access to a device that has a working camera and microphone so that students can participate during virtual meetings. If you do not have access to a device, please contact the Elementary Virtual School by email or call 613-817-9322 to arrange for devices. If you need technology (Chromebook/iPad) you will be able to pick it up from your former home school or the nearest LDSB school to your home. Pick-up times have been arranged on September, 1 and September 2 from 10 a.m.– 2 p.m. Please go to the main entrance of the school and advise the staff that you are there to pick up technology for the Elementary Virtual School.
Internet Access
Internet access will be provided to students who are learning remotely and do not currently have access (where service is available). If you do not have access to internet, please contact the Elementary Virtual School by email or call 613-817-9322. We will work with you to coordinate a suitable solution (e.g. an Internet Hotspot) if required.
