The SIDES staff consists of a group of teachers, counsellors, support staff and technical staff who are committed to providing students with an engaging Distributed Learning experience. Our team is ready to assist students with course content, skills development, and technical support to ensure their successful completion of online and paper-based courses.



As SIDES enters its twenty-second year of operation, we are proud to have you back with us for the 2010-2011 school year. We are continuing to refine our programs, to expand our selection of online course offerings and to work on the goals outlined in our Strategic Plan. We look forward to connecting with you soon!
