The Province has outlined it's plans to safely return students to school in September. Colleges and UPEI remain closed: https://archive.vn/wip/EytX5 The plan includes guidelines for all schools to keep students and staff safe, for example: Students will work in cohorts, or groups of the same students, as much as possible. Cohorts will distance themselves from other groups to limit exposure to other students. Classrooms will be configured to support physical distancing. Schools will work to reduce class sizes and when necessary, alternate space such as multi-purpose rooms will be used as classrooms. Lunch and recess breaks will be staggered, as well as drop-off and pick-up times. Protocols will be in place to safely move students through the school and reduce congestion in hallways and common areas. Students and staff will be required to stay home when they are unwell and there will be screening protocols for all people entering a school. Students will be educated on the importance of physical distancing and hand washing. Enhanced cleaning protocols will be followed in the school and on the school bus. To reduce the number of students on buses, parents will be asked to transport their children to and from school whenever possible and buses will be added where necessary. The plan for September is based on current evidence and recommendations of the Chief Public Health Office. While in-school learning is the preferred model, back-up plans will be in place to move to at-home learning should public health conditions change. Staff will return to school on September 1 and students on September 8. Orientation on new operational requirements will be held for all staff. Professional learning for teachers will focus on the revised curriculum, online teaching and learning, and student wellness. https://archive.vn/wip/ajiDY https://archive.vn/wip/EytX5
