Re: 2021-2022 School Year

I hope everyone’s summer is off to a relaxing and rejuvenating start. Thank you again for supporting the W̱SÁNEĆ  School Board through the difficult challenges of the pandemic.

The W̱SÁNEĆ  School Board held a Board of Directors meeting on July 13, 2021 to discuss the W̱SÁNEĆ School Board’s restart plan for September 2021. The Board of Directors made the decision to return to school in full capacity for the 2021-2022 school year. School will resume on September 7th per normal scheduling. Please watch for school based communication for more information.

We will continue to watch provincial health recommendations for the upcoming school year and adjust plans and guidelines to ensure students and staff remain safe. Guidance on wearing masks in school settings will be confirmed later this summer and in alignment with broader provincial direction for the fall and winter. Students will continue to be required to complete daily health checks, stay home when feeling sick and practise diligent hand hygiene.

The W̱SÁNEĆ School Board is committed to supporting student’s transition back to the classroom, helping to overcome any barriers created or heightened by the pandemic and re-establish strong in-person educational programming.

Please reach out to your school principal or director with any questions. Enjoy the remainder of the summer.

Sincerely,
Curtis Olsen
