We continue to adjust to a world with COVID-19 and we are grateful for your faith, perseverance and hard work. Thank you for helping us to maintain learning and safety in our schools. Our school resumption guides and plans are subject to change as local, provincial and federal health measures are fluid. We will continue to update this page as new information becomes available. Our schools are open and operating under Scenario 1: In-school classes resume (near normal with health measures). See our School Resumption Handbook for Scenario 1 guidance and support.
