Reduced and staggered re-entry for all Sask.Rivers schools
The Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division (SRPSD) has released updated information regarding the timeline for the start of the new school year next month amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It comes after the district confirmed with paNOW on Tuesday that face masks will be used by all Grade 4 to 12 students.
Re-entry to schools will happen in a staggered, partial way between Sept.3 and Sept. 11 with only half the regular students per class. Regular sized classrooms are then expected to resume from Sept.14.
In a letter to families Wednesday, Director of Education Robert Bratvold said the next version of the SRPSD School Re-Entry Plan will be published at the end of the day on August 17.
The letter explained various elements ahead of the return to school “to provide as much time as possible for families to review and consider these items in their thinking about returning to school.”
