Classes resume today after the holiday, but students won’t be going to school.

The COVID situation has prompted government officials to move to virtual instruction for the time being.

Education Minister Tom Osborne says the situation will be assessed weekly, with updates coming each Thursday for the week ahead.

Schools have conducted surveys among their students to determine what access families have to electronics and internet access needed for online learning.

Minister Osborne says Chrome books have been set aside for older grade levels.

Schools and teachers are in the process of reaching out to students to determine their schedule and what to do to access the virtual classroom.
