Here’s a list of what schools are affected by rotating strikes this week

Parents are gearing up for another week of rotating strikes in Ontario.
All four major teachers’ unions have been without contracts since Aug. 31, and are all engaged in some form of job action.
Contract talks between the province and the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO), which represents 83,000 elementary public school teachers, occasional teachers and education professionals across the province, collapsed Friday.
The union says its teachers would walk out at each board twice a week, starting Monday.
Last week, members of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) held off on any job action due to exams but announced they would resume their weekly rotating strikes on Tuesday. The OSSTF represents 60,000 members including public high school teachers, occasional teachers, teaching assistants, continuing education teachers, early childhood educators.
The Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association (OECTA), which represents teachers in publicly funded Roman Catholic schools, and teachers in the French system have bargaining scheduled this week with a one-day strike happening on Tuesday.
The unions and the government have been accusing the other of being unwilling to bend on key issues including wages and class sizes.
