As part of the school re-entry plans outlined by the Government of Alberta, schools are currently operating within Scenario 1—resuming daily in-school classes with near-normal operations accompanied by specific health measures.
To support school re-entry, the Division developed the EIPS School Re-Entry Plan: A guide for students, staff and families that outlines the options available to families:
Both options enable students to stay connected to their current school throughout their learning. Additional highlights of the plan include:
The goal is to ensure operations take place in the safest way possible. EIPS encourages all families to read through this plan to understand what the school experience will look like for the 2020-21 school year and make informed decisions for your family, both now and in the months to come.
The Division will continue to keep families informed throughout the year as the current situation continues to change.
