The Vancouver School Board is working on a transitional option for parents uncomfortable with their kids being back at school full time.
According to the VSB, parents were sent a survey and asked to weigh in on four learning options. Sixty-nine per cent of respondents plan to send their child back to school full time. But another 29 per cent said they were most interested in the fourth option — a learn from home transition program.“Based on these results, the district will develop a fourth option and will share it with families early next week,” said Deena Kotak-Buckley, the district’s director of instruction.
Under the transitional option, students would learn remotely and receive some learning support from the district in the form of one-on-one check-is with a teacher.Article content continued “Children whose families choose this option remain enrolled in their local school and would be placed in a learning group for possible transition to in-person instruction this school year,” the VSB said.
