Today, Peace Wapiti Public School Division (PWPSD) released its School Re-entry Plan for the 2020-21 School Year.  

In addition to today’s re-entry plan release, PWPSD has been sharing regular updates to families via email since early June, which can also be accessed on the dedicated PWPSD School Re-entry Plan 2020-21 webpage and the division’s Facebook and Twitter feeds.  

PWPSD families can expect to receive a final email update mid-August outlining the mental health supports available to students, a vital element in the school re-entry process. 

Near the end of August, some schools may opt to share school-specific operational information with their families on what to expect when school reopens. ­ 

PWPSD Re-entry Plan offers teaching and learning options for families 

A one-page Teaching and Learning supplement was also released for any parents wishing to continue with remote learning as an alternative to the planned Scenario 1 return to in-school classes in September.  

To accommodate this model, the 2020-21 school year will offer parents of Grades 1-9 students three term re-entry points for a possible return to in-school learning, and two semester re-entry points for Grades 10-12 students.  

Parents who prefer to begin the school year with teacher-led remote instruction should contact PWPSD Central Office at (780) 532-8133 by August 24th to ensure their child’s seat in a school will be reserved should the family decide to return to in-school learning at the next available re-entry point. 

Direct mail piece includes self-screening tool 

Later this month, PWPSD families will receive a direct mail piece covering the plan’s highlights, along with instruction on the required daily use of the enclosed self-screening tool that was published by the province in July. 

They look forward to welcoming students and staff back in September.
