Educational curveballs are keeping administrators, staff and students on their toes during this unique and challenging school year.
Principals in the Anglophone South School District normally meet together, which is not possible during the pandemic.
Superintendent Zoe Watson said meetings are all conducted virtually now.
“I think the principals appreciate those opportunities to come together. A lot of questions. We always to seem to be trying to figure out how we are going to do things. Exam week at the high school and what will that look like. Kindergarten orientation and all those steps. [We] have to figure it all out,” Watson said.
Watson said two high schools, Belleisle Regional and Campobello Island, are able to have students attend every day.
Sir James Dunn Academy in Saint Andrews has grade nine and 10 students in the classroom daily.
The Province has provided UPDATED guidelines for staff and students who have or who plan to travel to the Moncton or Campbellton Health Regions, or who have hosted visitors from those regions. This information was sent to all ASD-S families this evening: https://t.co/LPbbhUdKK2

During Wednesday night’s monthly District Education Council meeting, Watson singled out the hard work by custodians this year.
“A lot of expectations there with enhanced cleaning. They are very visible in the schools doing that work,” Watson said.
Watson added the provincial education department provided some funding for more custodians this year.
