Planning for September

The June school restart saw almost 200,000 students safely return to the classroom. Educators and school staff have gone above and beyond to find innovative ways to support students, and we've heard so many heart-warming stories of how meaningful this support was for students and families.
 
Minister of Education, Rob Fleming, has appointed a steering committee with representatives from teachers, parents, First Nations, support staff, principals and vice-principals, school boards and trustees, and public health representatives that will be active over the summer. Its mandate is to learn from best practices from March to June, identify existing/potential issues and propose solutions based on different scenarios, and support the development of parent and teacher resources.
 
The Ministry will provide updates throughout the summer and an announcement is scheduled in August, in time to prepare for the start of school in September. Make sure to continue reading Learn to get all the latest updates.

The Ministry of Education is interested in learning more about parents'/guardians' experiences during the COVID-19 in-class learning disruption between March and June 2020. Please take 10 minutes to complete this survey to help inform policy development and planning for schools.
 
Do you know any Grade 10-12 students? Please share this student survey with them so they can also tell us about their perspectives on educational impact of COVID-19.
