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.
Within a learning group, K-12 students and staff do not need to maintain physical distancing. All staff must still make efforts to minimize physical contact within learning groups.
Outside of their own learning group, middle and secondary students and all K-12 staff need to practice physical distancing of two metres, and other safety protocols like frequent hand washing and covering coughs. Most importantly, anyone who feels unwell must stay home.
Extracurricular activities will likely involve students interacting outside of their learning groups and appropriate physical distancing is required in those circumstances.
