Monday deadline for Lethbridge School Division pilot e-learning program
Poll
yes
Parents have until Monday to register their students for a pilot e-learning program being conducted by the Lethbridge School Division. An e-learning program, said Board chair Christine Light Friday, is “flexible, innovative and accountable for engaging students in meaningful digital learning experiences where they can thrive within the school and broader community.” The project was announced earlier this year and it is neither a response to COVID-19 nor the same program as the school division’s current online learning option. The program will be offered to students in elementary, middle and high schools, the latter if enough register by Monday’s deadline.

As announced by Premier Jason Kenney on Thursday, stronger measures for targeted regions in the province that have high levels of active cases were set in place.
Lethbridge is one of those targeted regions with respect to education and operations of schools. Students in the Lethbridge School Division from Grade 7 to 12 will switch to at-home learning starting on Monday.
The situation will be re-evaluated by Alberta Health Services and Alberta Education as the two-week period comes to a close.
During a press conference on Friday, Lethbridge School Division Superintendent Cheryl Gilmore announced that May 3 will be used for preparation to move to full online delivery. Full delivery of online learning for those grades will start on Tuesday, May 4.
