With schools reopening next week, Arctic Radio News reached out to the School District of Mystery Lake to discover how that will look for students in Thompson.

Co-Superintendent Lorie Henderson says the district’s school teams have been working on the reopening plans for most of the summer to make sure schools resume in the safest manner possible, and each school’s plan is compliant to the Public Health orders set out by the province.

The district is asking families and caregivers to check the parent information that’s being provided by the province and the schools, practice some of the changes students can expect in class such as how to wear a mask, and talk to them about physical distancing and to not share supplies or snacks with their peers.

You can visit the School District of Mystery Lake website, as well as the Government of Manitoba's COVID-19 page for information on the reopening of schools.
