The Ministry of Education said the school is the first in B.C. among public and independent schools to have started the 2020 to 2021 school year

The school operates on a year-round schedule, with extended breaks for students and teachers four times a year, which line up with culturally significant times for the Nlaka’pamux Nation.

“It’s a scary time to be making the decision to be taking your kid back to school or not,” she said. “I’m so thankful that we have the ability to have such small class sizes and have all these extra precautions in place so my kids and my family are safe.”School administrator Edith Loring-Kuhanga said the school was running through its reopening plan before the Ministry of Education had released its own initial COVID-19 guidelines at the end of July and into early August.

School staff went through the province’s latest guidelines line-by-line and found that they’re doing more than what is required, said Loring-Kahuna.“Our board has been very adamant that they don’t just want us to meet the standards, they want us to exceed them,” she said. “Parents need to trust that teachers and the staff at schools are going to be working their very hardest to follow the protocols and do the very best they can to keep everyone safe,” she said. “Everybody is doing their best. Mistakes might be made but that’s how we learn and we can correct the mistakes as we go.

Welcome to the party, we've all been living it

Ottawa elementary school I work in Principal confirmed all classes have 30 or so children except for two classes. One has 25, the other has 27. We also have a child care in the school, and an EDP which is before and after school. Crowded, poorly ventilated and enclosed.

Heart Breaking to see Millions of Canadian parents promoting and participating in their child abuse. Masking and Muzzling Children Forced Isolation Removal of fun and play/cooperative learning Telling children they could die and also kill grandma. Shameful

They could always just quit and seek a safer career ...
