There are so many positive stories coming from students and teachers across B.C. in the first week of the province's gradual return to schools for in-class instruction
under
new health and safety guidelines. More than 157,000 kindergarten to Grade 12 students, representing nearly 30% of B.C.'s total school population, were back in classrooms last week.
Much of the success can be credited to the extensive planning in schools, and educators’ efforts to prepare students, families and staff to return to class. For example, the team at Victoria's St. Patrick's Elementary School created this fun and
informative
video to help students and parents make the transition back to school.
With week two underway and more positive stories coming in from schools, we wanted to share some of your colleagues’ personal experiences about how Stage 3 is working in their classrooms.
