Five total people at Ecole McIsaac School, Many Faces Education Centre and Ruth Betts Community school have tested positive for COVID-19 this school year.
Under the current FFSD plan, no classes at all will take place for Kindergarten-Grade 8 students from Ecole McIsaac School and Ruth Betts Community School. All those Kindergarten-Grade 8 classes will fully move to remote learning May 26. This proactive shift to temporary remote learning can cause additional stress, however, we want to assure you that our staff across the division are here to support you, said FFSD superintendent Tammy Ballantyne in a letter sent to parents and media May 22.

Your continued support is greatly appreciated as we navigate the changes together through this pandemic.

Then you will need to set up tenders and then you will have to receive proposals back…and then you will find out what it’s going to cost.”
