PRINCE GEORGE – It’s official, the kids are back in class across BC and here in School District 57.

Most parents and their children seemed excited when asked how they felt about going back to class.

Although the hope was that this school year would be a lot closer to normal, unfortunately, that is not the case.

Some COVID-19 restrictions remain at schools including health checks, and mandatory face masks for Grade 3 to Grade 12 students and all adults.

In School District 57, elevated cleaning protocols and practices will continue to the same level as last year. Cleaning practices include increased custodial staff and sanitizing practices that some other districts in the province have dropped.
