Differences this year begin with how students will arrive at school as both parents and education workers try and navigate a return to in-class learning

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Students return to class in Manitoba and Saskatchewan today, and the differences this year due to COVID-19 begin with how they will arrive at school.

As far as mask wearing, Saskatchewan says it’s up to school boards to decide whether to make them mandatory, although the chief medical health officer advises Grade 4 to 12 students should wear them in busy areas such as hallways and on buses.Manitoba, meanwhile, requires masks for grades 5 to 12 when physical distancing isn’t possible, and they will be required on the bus.

The union and the school division have been bargaining since October 2019 after the drivers’ contracts expired in June of last year, and a spokeswoman for the division said late Monday there had been no movement on negotiations. Dr. Saqib Shahab, Saskatchewan’s chief medical health officer, has also encouraged people to reduce their contacts as summer draws to a close and schools prepare to reopen.
