Following the announcement that schools in Saskatchewan will be closing effective March 20, Prairie South School Division has now issued a letter to parents explaining that teachers will offer resources to parents to help continue children’s learning while they are at home.
The Ministry of Education announced a pause period from Mar. 20 to Mar. 27, during which all school programming and non-essential services will cease entirely.
Following Mar. 27, teachers will be reaching out to parents with instructional support and resources for students at home while the indefinite closure of schools is happening.
The Ministry of Education and the school division are continually working on creating a plan for students and families to access continued learning opportunities, as well as providing the resources needed for grade 12 students to graduate on time.
“We know there is much uncertainty for families and staff, and wish we had all of the answers to your questions,” said the release. “Our goal continues to be to support your children and your family, and we are committed to providing information as we become aware of it.”
Families in the division will be contacted as things progress, and Prairie South will be keeping its website and social media current as updates occur.
