It’s been three weeks since students in the Central Okanagan last went to school because of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Sometime soon, remote learning will begin, with students taking instruction online.
But for a select few, some could be returning to class this week. On Friday, Central Okanagan Public Schools said starting Monday, April 6, it will be providing support to select essential-service workers with young school-aged children.
In a letter to parents available on the school district’s website, the board of education said learning service centres in some elementary and middle schools will begin to accommodate the children of tier-one essential service workers who had submitted applications.
