Hastings Prince Edward District School Board is advising students and staff to take home their belongings before they leave for the Easter long weekend.
Sean Monteith, Director of Education with the school board, issued a letter today saying that this is a precautionary measure if the Ministry of Education announces that in-persons will be suspended.
He adds that his letter is not meant to “cause speculation” but rather make sure students and staff can be prepared as much as possible.
It is expected at this time that students will return to the classrooms on Tuesday.
