The purpose of this message to provide additional information about opting out of Port Hope High School (PHHS) and registering with the KPR Virtual Learning High School.

Students who have chosen to ‘opt out’ of in-person learning  have been transferred to KPR Virtual High School (VHS) and will no longer be registered as a student at their home secondary school until such time as the student formally re-registers  at PHHS.

The Virtual High School will attempt to match the courses you selected for this semester in creating a new timetable with teachers assigned from the Virtual High School.  Messaging about your child’s new courses will come from the VHS.

Students planning on returning to PHHS at the end of the first quadmester or for semester two,  will not return to the classes they were originally scheduled in, but will have to select new courses based on what is available at that time. It is also important to note that space in specialized courses such as technology can be limited and cannot be guaranteed if a student chooses to return to their home school.  Conversely, if a student is considering opting out at a later date and attending the VHS they will be required to select courses based on availability at that time which may be different from their original plan.   

We are now in the process of adjusting our timetable and course offerings given the impact of losing PHHS students to the VHS and we be able to confirm student timetables next week.   Students will then be able to contact Guidance to discuss possible timetable changes if needed.   We understand that course selection is very important and we will work with you to make sure each student has the courses that are critical to their career path.

If you are interested in potentially changing your decision to ‘opt out’, please contact our guidance secretary at PHHS and we will help you with that process.  Information about the KPR Re-start plan and expectations of students who choose VHS can be found here http://www.kprschools.ca/en/COVID-19.html
