RC Mac Community News
May 11-13
Dear Parents and Students,
On May 6th the BC Government introduced the ReStart Plan. I want to assure you that here at RC MacDonald School we will continue with the school routines we have recently established during this period of Continuous Learning from home for the time being.
I look forward to learning more about the BC Government's ReStart Plan and anticipate the Ministry of Education will provide more details to specific guidelines for safe return to school. Our school district leadership team will determine next steps and carefully plan for everyone's health, safety and continued learning. I will let you know immediately if there is a process involving parent consultation in this regard. Thanks always for your continued patience and your dedication to your children’s education both from home and at school.
Hope your week goes smoothly without too many line ups!
Mrs. Roberts
