THUNDER BAY - Local students who have been learning at home for the past six weeks will be back in the classroom after the April break and it is anticipated the next academic year will look much like it used to.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit has informed the local school boards that in-person learning can resume on April 19.
“In-person learning is vital to the overall health and wellbeing of students and I recognize that suspending this has imposed additional challenges for students and families,” said Dr. Janet DeMille, medical officer of health with the Thunder Bay District Health Unit in a statement, “While this was necessary given the impact that community cases were having on schools, it is important that this resume, of course, with all appropriate prevention measures in place to ensure the ongoing safety of students and staff in these challenging times.”
