Students will return to learning in classrooms across Alberta at the beginning of the new school year. 

Schools will be ready to welcome more than 750,000 students under scenario 1, which is near-normal daily operations with health measures. 

Alberta’s government has developed a re-entry tool kit to prepare parents and students for what to expect in the new school year. The tool kit includes videos for students explaining some of the health measures, a guide for parents, frequently asked questions, school posters, a self-screening questionnaire in multiple languages, and links to health guidelines. 

Adriana LaGrange, Minister of Education, says, “We are determined to do everything that we can to safely return our students, teachers and staff to school. I appreciate the input and support of school authorities across the province, as well as our education partners, in developing and refining our school re-entry plan. We are providing clear and detailed guidelines and a re-entry tool kit so everyone can do their part and prepare for a safe return to school.”
