Prepping for school
PRINCE GEORGE – Just under 13,000 kids are heading back to School District 57’s 32 elementary and 8 secondary schools. Prep work for students can be different, depending on the age of the student, starting with elementary.
“Sometimes you know who the students will be,” says Katherine Trepanier, President of the Prince George District Teachers’ Association. “Sometimes you don’t have that list yet until the end of the first week. But people will be looking at the curriculum and making sure that they have their plans in place for the term in the year, thinking about their goals for the year, the types of activities they want to do with their kids.”
She says prep is a little different for teachers in the secondary school system, with rotating classes.
