It is the “Mission No. 1” is to keep Ontario schools open. Education Minister said, Asymptomatic COVID-19 testing offered during spring break will help keep students safe.

By following public health advice, we can all have a safe and restorative spring break and ensure classes return safely post break.

To support this period, the Ministry has developed a template letter to be sent to parents, to encourage everyone to adhere to COVID-19 health and safety measures within their community over the spring break. We encourage you to communicate this information to your school communities, including staff, students and families prior to and upon return from the break.

As we prepare to welcome students back to class following the spring break, the ministry has prepared this guide to support educators in providing a refresher for all students. This guide includes tips and strategies to support a consistent provincial approach to safe and healthy practices that help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and can be used to:

• develop classroom activities and conversations that support mental health and well-being; and,
• remind students of safe and healthy practices that should be followed to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

It is important to note that as the pandemic response evolves, guidance may change accordingly. Educators must ensure that any additional directives provided by their board or public health offices are communicated with students.
