The vast majority of families in the Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division support having their children back in the classroom this fall, according to a survey of families.
Holy Family RCSSD is welcoming students back to school on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2020. The division is diligently working towards ensuring a safe learning and working environment.
In their survey, parents were asked to choose from the following options:
Classroom instruction - with pandemic safety protocols in place; classroom instruction with medical accommodation; homeschooling - parent registers student in home-based education; online learning - by parent application.
A total of 94 per cent of respondents are choosing to send their child(ren) back to the classroom, with 
4.5 per cent of respondents choosing to send their child(ren) back to the classroom, but will require a medical accommodation; 
2.2 per cent of respondents plan on homeschooling their child(ren), and
4.3 per cent of respondents are requesting online learning for their child(ren).
Administrators noted that for those parents wanting their children to do online education, this form of learning will require significant parent support and supervision.
Much work, preparation and training is going into meeting all the safety and academic needs of students. 

The Ministry of Education required all school divisions to submit a return to school plan, you can read Holy Family’s plan on their website at www.holyfamilyrccsd.ca.
School specific plans need to be shared with families, no later than Aug. 26. Check at www.holyfamilyrccsd.ca for the plans to be released.
