New COVID-19 restrictions to stop the spike

New mandatory health restrictions will help stop the spike of COVID-19 and protect the health system

All Kindergarten to Grade 12 students, and all Early Education Programs, will temporarily shift to at-home learning (Scenario 3), starting on May 7.
Students will return to in-class learning on Wednesday, May 26. Please note that Tuesday, May 25, is a previously-scheduled School-Based Professional Learning Day and as a result, there will be no school for students on that day.
As determined by schools, students with disabilities who require specialized supports and services (e.g. braille, American Sign Language, substantially modified programming, or the support of a multi-disciplinary team) to access learning will continue to attend in person.
“I want to thank teachers, school staff, parents and of course our students for their flexibility and efforts since the start of the pandemic," said Adriana LaGrange, Minister of Education. "The disruptions are difficult inside and outside the classroom, and this has been especially true with the recent rise of cases in the province. That said, if all Albertans do their part, this will be a temporary reset for our schools and we all can look forward to coming back to class later this spring to close out the school year.”
