Schools across Winnipeg remain closed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, but many are prepping to let kids pick up items from their lockers and grab anything they may need to learn from home.
The Winnipeg School Division’s Radean Carter compared planning safe and efficient locker clearouts to organizing a military operation. “We have to keep that six-foot distance, we have to make sure it’s on a schedule so we don’t have any more than 10 people in the area at a time,” said Carter. “What the high schools are doing is scheduling appointments.” Carter said parents need to be aware that unless they’ve received a message specifically letting them know when their children can pick up their stuff, students should not be sent to school
