2020-09-08
Maple Ridge – Pitt Meadows School District No. 42 will be implementing a gradual restart plan during the week of September 8. This means that students will NOT be returning to classrooms on September 8 as previously announced.
The first two days of school (September 8 and 9) will be reserved for the training of staff on all updated health and safety guidelines and to prepare for the return of our students. Students will begin to return to classrooms on September 10 and 11 in groups at set times for a full orientation on the implemented health and safety protocols and an introduction to their cohort.
Regular daily attendance for all grade 1-12 students begins on September 14. Parents of our incoming kindergarten students will be provided an updated detailed gradual start schedule directly by school principals.
