He�o parents,  As you may have heard already, a� of the schools in the province are going to  code orange. That is going to cause a few changes, with one of the main ones  being shifting a� of our classes and students to two metre spacing. We have  next week to make those plans, much of which we already have in place. You wi�  be receiving some emails from the division this weekend with more information  and a survey, so please read through those carefu�y and respond where  appropriate.  Like always, we are here to answer your questions, and please trust that a� of  these decisions we make are made in the best interest of your child and their  education. We are committed to doing what is best for our community!   Thank you,  Joel Bergen  Principal of Kleefeld School
