The Toronto District School Board is getting set to welcome back most students in-person this upcoming school year.
Eighty-six per cent of students who registered by the Aug. 12 deadline say they planned to attend class in-person when the school year begins in September.
To ensure students safety in the classroom, the country’s largest school board has also updated its health and safety protocols.
These new protocols are stricter than the ones recommended by the province and include requiring elementary students to eat lunch in their classrooms, and to remain in specific cohorts for recess and outdoor breaks. Assemblies will not be allowed inside, unless virtual. For music class, students will be allowed to sing, but they must be masked.
The TSBD says high-school lunch protocols are still being developed as are plans on how to safely resume extracurriculars.
