As the school year begins to wrap up next month, the school district is reminding students and their families about how the remote learning will wind up.

 

At Tuesday night’s school board meeting, Co-Superintendent Lorie Henderson says the district has been looking at families with limited access to technology, and says as of Tuesday 21 homes will have internet access.

 

Henderson adds that instead of running the internet for May and June, the district would instead have the internet access run through the summer so that students can continue their learning.

 

The district will be paying for the internet for July and August, and Henderson explains they hope families can pay for the service beginning in the fall.

 

When it comes to home work, the final assignments will be sent out by Jun. 1 and returned to teachers by Jun. 12.

 

Report card will be available on Jun. 29, and parents can call their child’s school if they need a paper copy.

 

Henderson also mentioned that the district is starting to work on a school re-opening plan and recently formed a committee to oversee that.

 

She explains that the province has been working on a frame work to assist school districts across Manitoba, which is expected to be released within the next week or so.

 

Henderson says the committee will wait for the province’s frame work to be released before the district actually begins their re-opening plan.

 

At this time, there is no set date as to when schools in the district will be open.
