Schools will look different when classes return in September.
Zoe Watson, superintendent for Anglophone South School District, said high school students will be coming to school on a rotational basis.
When students are not in the classroom, they will be learning in different ways.
“Some days it may be online learning, it may be some guided projects and other work that the teacher has assigned,” Watson said. “Now we do have some very small high schools and it may be possible for students in those small-size schools to attend school every day.”
Watson said students in middle and high schools will have to physical distance in common areas like hallways and lockers.
“If that’s not possible, it will just like us as adults when we are out among other people, they will be asked to have a community face mask,” Watson said.
In grades six to eight, additional classrooms are not needed.
Seventy-five classrooms will be added for students in kindergarten to grade 5.
Starting Thursday, Education and Early Childhood Development Minister Dominic Cardy will offer Return to School plan updates twice a week. Those updates will be live-streamed on the province’s YouTube channel.
