Hello Forest Grove Families,
As you have likely heard, the Government of BC released its province-wide plan on July 30th to bring students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 back into the classroom full time in September. For more details on the announcement, please see:
- COVID-19: Return to School provincial website: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/education-training/k-12/covid-19-return-to-school
- Announcement on the Plan to safely bring K-12 students back to class full time https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2020EDUC0040-001415
In order to keep the community updated as much as possible, I will try to keep the website updated with information as it comes in, and you can expect emails to being to ramp up in the next couple weeks.
I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful summer and I look forward to seeing you in September.
All the best,
Mr. K. Gurney
