After the long summer break, many parents consider back-to-school to “the most wonderful time of the year.” However, the upcoming 2021-2022 school year is unlike any other. Parents and kids are unsure of how the school year will play out. Are kids heading back into the classroom, will there be digital learning – or a combination of both?
Mydoh is all about learning. With that in mind, we rounded up some resources to keep you informed on back-to-school and the changes parents, and kids across Canada might expect.

Students will be sorted into learning groups of no more than 60 people, including teachers and educational assistants. Learning groups will remain together throughout the semester.
