On Monday morning, Manitoban students will be back at their desks after two weeks of online learning.
Taking advantage of the natural break, the Province of Manitoba decided to move students in Grades 7 and up online for two weeks knowing that the holidays could have meant more cases of COVID-19. Parents of students in other grades were able to choose to keep their children home to learn or send them to school.
Now, the rest of the students are preparing for their return to the classroom.
"As we make our way through the first couple of weeks of the new year, many of us are looking at the year ahead with a renewed sense of hope and optimism," Louis Riel School Division (LRSD) Superintendent Christian Michalik says in a letter to parents. "I know the holiday break gave me a moment to reflect and recharge, and I hope all of you had the same opportunity to find joy wherever you could."
