JCon Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 The Superintendent for Pembina Trails told the Trustees last Thursday that October 26th was only a suggestion for implementing 2 meter distancing and they were targeting November 2nd for implementation. Of course, they have no plan. They've been without one for the past 7 months. It befuddles them. They sent out a survey for parents asking if we would prefer in-class or remote learning. If we chose remote learning, we wouldn't have the option to go back into class until we were out of orange. The survey wasn't working on Friday but they fixed in on Sunday. Given how bad remote learning was in spring, we've opted for the in-class. If, we choose, we can still pull them. As of now, there have been zero changes in school my kids go to. I'll wait to hear back from my kids tonight if they experienced any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCon Posted October 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 7 minutes ago, Mark H. said: He said ‘no plan for the past seven months.’ They have no plan. Masks were mandated by the province, not the school board. The sanitizer has been there, which is good. Cohorts have been a mess and have been changing. That, of course, was mandated by the province, not the school board. Basic cleaning. Not really extra, which is also mandated. Other School Boards have come up with plans and implemented them. Without level orange, our school has indoor band. They were preparing covers for some of the wind instruments. You must take band in grade 6 and no one is spaced more than a meter apart. They said they need some time to develop a plan. They've had seven months and still don't have one. No one has selected remote learning because they can't and won't communicate what this will mean.

JCon Posted October 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 I need to add, with respect, that our board leadership has been very poor on lots of issues over the past few years. Our superintendent should have been out several years ago. Our teachers have been awesome and most care deeply about the kids health and safety, along with their own. Some seem indifferent but that's not the norm. Our principal is brand new and walked into this crisis but has not got much support from the board, it seems. This is crisis management and we're failing as a community. We're just lucky that we have not had any cases in our school (but in the attached daycare, we have). They need to use the library, the gymnasiums, and the band rooms to get facilitate a safe social distancing. So far, they haven't done it.

There's lots we can do...like pulling our heads out of our asses and stop gathering in groups. Stop going out if you're even a LITTLE bit sick. Stay home as much as you possibly can. I don't think this is something that is just going to start getting better again with people doing nothing. The only way it's going to get better is if we all start doing the right thing and actually PREVENT it from spreading. blue_gold_84, Wideleft and JCon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustamente Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Unfortunately we let our guard down and it's biting us in the arse, that and there are people that know they are sick got positive test and continue to go to parties, gatherings and work. There will always be people that don't give a shiate about anything but themselves and have to ruin it for everyone else. Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
