Three options available to families in our district are in-person schools, or a BC Certified Teacher supported Distributed Learning program in K-9 & 10-12, or homeschooling where a caregiver provides education.

The Key Learning Centre can help with registration for the K-9 Distributed Learning program or homeschooling. You can reach the Key Learning Centre at or 250-261-5660 .

If you have students currently registered in one of our schools please do let the Principal know of your change in registration as administrative teams are working on cohort groups and it would be most helpful for them to know if your children aren’t going to be attending this year.

Please note that homeschool is not supported by a school district teacher. Children must be registered with a BC public / independent school as per the School Act. For more information please see the policy at

Please get in touch with your school administrator. We are working on support plans for meals programs for students in need in whatever stage we are in.

See the letter in Update #5 from Director of Instruction Carleen Andrews with resources to support families dealing with stress and anxiety.

We’ve received many questions about masks and here are some highlights below. See for more information.

• Exceptions will be made for students and staff who cannot wear masks for behavioural, medical or disability reasons. Parents should identify this to the school principal.
• If a student or staff member听develops symptoms while听at school, they must wear a mask听while they are preparing to go home.
• How to wear a mask –
• How to wear a non-medical mask or face covering – video – 听

Families will be expected to do a daily health check of their students before they attend school each day.

Staff will be expected to do a daily health check before reporting to work.

No one should attend school if ill.

• Students or staff may still attend school if a member of their household has cold, influenza, or COVID- 19-like symptoms, provided the student/staff is not sick or have not been told to self isolate by the health authority.
• It is expected the symptomatic household member is seeking assessment by a health-care provider

Please see the BCCDC Guidance document on page 17 for the latest information on the COVID-19 protocols at http://www.bccdc.ca/Health-Info-Site/Documents/COVID_public_guidance/Guidance-k-12-schools.pdf

• Students and staff who experience seasonal allergies, or other COVID-19-like symptom that are related to an existing condition, can continue to attend school when they are experiencing these symptoms as normal
• If you notice a sudden change in the severity or type of symptoms your child normally experiences, you may want to keep your child at home and seek advice from a health-care provider

Please see the BC Back to School Plan for the latest information on the COVID-19 protocols at

As close as possible yes. Some schools depending on their context may need to have staggered start or end time for the day and breaks to best enable physical distancing of Learning Groups / Cohorts. Middle and Secondary may need to adjust timetables. Depending on the mix some courses in secondary may be offered with independent study / online .

Supports for behaviour or learning plans will continue with the new layer of learning groups to be considered by the school teams. Parents are part of that team! Adaptations will be made that best meet the needs of the student and the health & safety expectations.

All 麻豆网站列表 Play equipment is open however only registered students should use the playgrounds during the school day.
