Kamloops students return to classrooms with revamped safety protocols
KAMLOOPS — It’s not a typical back-to-school look for students in the Kamloops-Thompson District this week, but in-person classes have resumed for those who chose to return.
At Beattie Elementary, eager students waited in the marked line-up area outside the building, mindful to resist hugging friends they haven’t seen in weeks, and staying within two metres of another.
Teachers were on hand at the entrance to ask whether a student had symptoms before directing them to a hand washing station, and eventually — a classroom.
