On Thursday, Manitoba’s Education Minister provided some details about what classes will look like on September 8th.
Mountain View School Division superintendent Dan Ward says the Division now has their work cut out for them, as they make preparations for 3 possible back-to-school scenarios.
“We were happy to see the announcement and to receive the document, and have a chance to look at it. We’ll continue to look at it over the coming days and determine what it means for our school division.”
Ward hopes that all students can come back to class on September 8 — as outlined in Scenario 1 — but acknowledges the COVID situation may lead to a blended approach to resuming classes, with some students still learning from home.
“We’ve already started looking at that possibility, hoping that all students can come back full time. But depending on the development of COVID-19, we do have to be prepared for that possibility," he said.
By August 1st, the provincial government will let school divisions know which of the three scenarios they will be moving forward with in September.
