Getting Ready for Re opening
We are all looking for answers to many questions surrounding the re opening of schools this September.
Below you will find the re opening document and the information released by the province regarding outbreak management.
There has been a lot of information coming out lately, and these may be a couple of things you want to read before September 1 when everyone will be involved in planning for the school year. There have already been some changes to the plan since it was released earlier in August.
Arrive at work prepared with your willingness to learn, your creative ideas and your questions. Remember, even though we are used to returning to school, this is the first time we have dealt with a re opening under the current circumstances. There will be many changes and many differences and we must approach the year with a new perspective.
