With the province announcing the phased plan to re-open BC earlier this week, part of that plan is the eventual opening of Elementry and Secondary schools.
Here's the latest update from Justin Tinney @ Surrey Schools...
"The guidelines we are hearing suggest that balance will be the equivalent of alternating days for students in K-5 and one day a week for students in Grades 6-12," says Surrey Schools Supt. Jordan Tinney. "School districts are busy now trying to design models that meet the goalposts of these guidelines. The provincial guidelines include the principle that parents will have the choice to have their children remain learning at home or to have some access for face-to-face balanced with their current online/remote learning. No matter what, our hybrid models include face-to-face and online or remote learning for all children."
The model that the province is announcing includes:
• A part-time return to face-to-face instruction for children in Grades K-5;
• Part-time face-to-face instruction for students in Grades 6-12; and
• The continuation of remote and online learning.
