At-Home Learning for students at Galbraith starting Monday, March 29

As communicated in Lethbridge School Division COVID-19 Re-entry Plan, the safety and well-being of students and staff is one of our most important priorities.
A number of positive COVID-19 cases have been identified at Galbraith Elementary and subsequently, a number of staff and students are in quarantine as an outcome of being identified as close contacts by Alberta Health Services.
With the number of staff required to be in isolation, Galbraith is not able to adequately deliver educational programming at the school at this time in a safe and efficient manner. Furthermore, it is challenging to secure the number of substitute staff required to cover for staff who are in isolation.  
Lethbridge School Division has consulted with the Ministry of Education about the need to move Galbraith to Scenario 3 (at-home learning), and this plan has been approved by the Ministry.
Beginning on Monday, March 29, 2021, all classes at Galbraith will move to at-home learning until Easter break. The school will use the online delivery platform. Attendance is mandatory and teachers will continue to provide quality learning opportunities for students.
The Division is aware moving to at-home learning with very short notice may cause significant pressure on families, and apologizes for the short notice. However, as mentioned, the Division needs to keep the health and safety of our students and staff at the forefront of decision-making.
