The kiddos will be heading back to school this fall!
The Manitoba government has announced when students will be returning to school.
Kelvin Goertzen, Manitoba’s Education Minister, sent out a number of Tweet explaining that students will be returning after Labour Day.
Thank you to parents, teachers and students that gave feedback on the recent back to school survey. We listened to your feedback and it was clear that teachers and administration value time to prepare and collaborate prior to the resumption of school in the fall. /1 #MBPoli

As expected, the experience with at home learning has been difficult for many. While there will be a need for supplemental learning opportunities for many students in the next school year, the desire was that it be accommodated within the school year. /2 #MBPoli

Having heard this feedback, school divisions have been advised that schools will reopen for students on September 8th after Labour Day. This is the traditional start time for students. /3 #MBPoli
