On Monday, the provincial government confirmed the school year will begin on September 8 for students.
Manitoba's Education Minister Kelvin Goertzen revealed the news in a series of tweets.
He says school divisions have been advised that classes will begin at the traditional start time.
Schools will reopen for teachers and staff on September 2 to provide time to prepare spaces and inform staff about health protocols.
Having heard this feedback, school divisions have been advised that schools will reopen for students on September 8th after Labour Day. This is the traditional start time for students. /3 #MBPoli

Going forward, we’re still waiting on the government to provide more information on how classrooms will actually look in the new school year.
