Some Peace Wapiti Public School Division students going online under new health measures
With the announcement of new public health measures being implemented in COVID-19 hot spot communities, students who attend Peace Wapiti Public School Division schools in the City of Grande Prairie in Grades 7-12 will also be shifting online for at least two weeks starting Monday.
The division says in a release that Grade 7-8 students at Harry Balfour, Grade 9-12 students at Peace Wapiti Academy and Grade 7-12 at the Peace Wapiti Enterprise Centre will be shifting to at-home learning starting Monday, May 3. This aligns the division with all other Grade 7-12 students in the Swan City, who will also be moving to online learning.
These measures only impact these students in the division. All other classes and schools within PWPSD will continue with in-person learning, unless previously directed otherwise.
In an attempt to stem the rise in new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, the Alberta government chose to implement additional measures in communities with the highest active case counts.
