It might be almost three weeks later than promised, but high school students in Whitehorse will be heading back to class on April 19.
The Department of Education announced Wednesday morning during the weekly COVID-19 briefing that “Grades 10 to 12 students at F.H. Collins, Vanier Catholic and Porter Creek secondary schools will be able to return to full-time, in-person classes on April 19.”
Two planning days (April 15-16) have been scheduled to support school staff in adjusting their course plans for the remainder of the school year.
Grades 10 to 12 students will not attend in-class school during these two days and will be expected to be learning from home, doing work assigned by their teachers.
