A mandatory two-week remote learning period for students Grades 7 to 12 starting Jan. 4 will be a bit of an adjustment, according to Mountain View School Division (MVSD) superintendent Dan Ward.
“There will certainly be an adjustment period because right now most of our students in Grade 7 & 8 classes across the Division and attending in-person."
Ward tells CKDM the DRCSS in Dauphin will have an easier transition to going fully remote, as they’ve already been delivering a blended learning approach where students attend school only two days a week.
He says the other five smaller high schools in the MVSD — which have had students in-class full time — will require much more of an adjustment.
The mandatory two-week remote learning period for students Grade 7 to Grade 12 beginning Jan. 4, following the regularly scheduled holiday break.
Ward says in-class learning will continue for Grade 7 to 12 students with special needs.
Remote learning remains an option for all students, and the MVSD Superintendent & CEO says the "more than 300 children in kindergarten to Grade 6 who are receiving remote learning can certainly continue to do so.”
