Having students in the classroom helps to minimize learning gaps and provide the academic, social and emotional supports essential for learning. Schools and school districts will also have the necessary plans in place to be able to shift quickly between stages if and when required.  \nThe Ministry of Education Five Stage Framework for K-12 includes comprehensive COVID-19 health and safety measures and aligns with B.C.’s Restart Plan. Based on new public health guidance for K-12 schools from the Provincial Health Officer, the Five Stages have been updated to outline expectations for B.C. elementary, middle and secondary schools for the 2020/21 school year. This includes organizing students into cohorts (Learning Groups) to help limit contact and potential exposure.  \nThe September start-up will be supported by the four foundational principles established at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic:  \n▪ Maintain a healthy and safe environment for all students, families, teachers and staff  \n▪ Provide the services needed to support the children of our essential workers (ESWs)  \n▪ Support vulnerable students who may need special assistance  \n▪ Provide continuity of educational opportunity for all students  \nSafety Measures  \nOn September 8, 2020, all schools in B.C. will begin the new school year with the goal to maximize in-class learning for all students. To support the return to school, a comprehensive suite of COVID-19 safety measures are being implemented in B. C. schools to help protect students and staff:  \nStudents and staff will be required to clean their hands frequently, cover their faces when they  \ncough/sneeze and not share food, school supplies or equipment. They will also be required to stay home when sick.  \nLearning Groups  \nTo get the most students back in full-time in-class instruction in September, the Provincial Health Officer has recommended the use of cohorts (Learning Groups) to reduce the number of close, in-person interactions. This will reduce the number of people each student or staff member comes into contact with, thereby reducing the risk of transmission and ensuring quicker contact tracing by health authorities.  \nWithin a Learning Group, minimized physical contact is required, but physical distancing does not need to be maintained at all times. Outside of a Learning Group, physical distancing of 2m will remain the expectation for middle and secondary school students, and for all staff.  \nWHAT IS A LEARNING GROUP?  \n▪ A Learning Group is a group of students and staff who remain together throughout the school quarter, semester or year, and who primarily interact with each other.  \n▪ Examples include a single class, multiple classes that occasionally meet for additional learning activities, or a group of secondary school students with the same courses.  \n▪ Extracurricular activities will likely involve students interacting outside of their Learning Groups and will require appropriate physical distancing in those circumstances.  \n▪ Learning Groups are recommended by the Provincial Health Officer as an effective way to limit the number of interactions between people in schools and subsequently reduce potential exposures to COVID-19.  \nLEARNING GROUPS PROVIDE A RANGE OF BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS  \n1. Learning – Allow full-time attendance instead of on-line/remote  \n2. Social – Increase peer interaction, avoid isolation  \n3. Emotional – Increase peer support and connection  \n4. Psychological – Decrease mental health impacts  \nWHAT COULD A LEARNING GROUP LOOK LIKE IN DIFFERENT SCHOOL TYPES?  \nThe majority of elementary and middle schools will return to full-time, in-class instruction with minimal modifications to school structures and timetables.
