Letter to Parents and Guardians from the Minister of Education

Novel Coronavirus COVID-19
 

Open Letter to Parents and Guardians from Minister of Education Kelvin Goertzen


March 31, 2020

Dear Manitoba Parents and Guardians,


This is a challenging time for all Manitobans. The suspension of classes in all Manitoba schools has meant even more disruption in the lives of families over the last several weeks. Our goal is to protect the health and safety of all Manitobans during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are the four steps Manitoba Education is taking to ensure the health and safety of students, staff, parents, families and the wider community.

K-12 classes are suspended indefinitely for this school year.

No student will be held back due to COVID-19.

Learning will continue in a variety of ways.

We’re in this together.

Manitobans are resilient, and together we will overcome these challenges. My well wishes and thoughts are with all of you. Please take care of yourself and each other.

Sincerely,
Kelvin Goertzen
