Provinces emphasize in class learning for K-grade 6 in plan for return to school.
Students will be going back to school in September, but situations will vary region to region, school to school.
Government wants K-grade 6 to learn in class as much as possible whereas play-based learning is part of the curriculum.
The higher grades may involve three scenarios including all in class, all online, or combination of two.
Virtual learning will be available for all K to grade 12 students who are unable to get to class.
All students will have to complete a self exam routine each day before going to school. The choice to wear a mask will be a personal one for students, staff and teachers.
Large gatherings are not going to be permitted, but outdoor playtime will continue even though physical distancing is unlikely.
All students will have to complete a screening before school each day.
Many of the logistics are being left to the two school districts and the individual school itself to work out over the summer.
The Government is spending $20 million to upgrade technology for online learning.
The Newfoundland and Labrador Teachers Association (NLTA) will respond to the plan at a news conference starting at 2pm. VOCM will broadcast that live.
