The Manitoba government has prepared a number of important informational resources for parents/guardians as they prepare their families for a safe and informed return to the classroom. The "Restoring Safe Schools" information package is designed to help address, in an easy to access manner, the most frequently asked questions and areas of concerns.

The start of another school year is fast approaching, and we look forward to welcoming our staff and students back to school. With the unique challenges of COVID-19 we know this school year will look and feel different in many ways. As a school division, in following public health guidelines and directives from Manitoba Education, we are working to strike a balance between an abundance of caution and still provide enriching learning experiences for our students.
