KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops-Thompson School District says students will be reconnected to their learning by March 30.

In a news release, School District 73 says efforts by administrators, teachers and support staff are collectively focussed on keeping students and staff safe.

“I am grateful for the presidents of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers Association (KTTA) and the Canadian Union of Provincial Employees (CUPE) 3500, whose calm leadership and commitment to their civic duty has been a tremendous asset to our district as we plan for continuity of learning during this critical time,” said SD73 Superintendent Alison Sidow.

Teachers will be in touch with students to reconnect them to their learning by Monday (March 30).

The district says it’s committed to regular communication with families and students, along with staff in the district.

Sidow says the situation is unprecedented and asks for the community’s patience as the move to distance learning formalizes.

Schools remain closed to the public.
