At iadapt.ca, we believe every immigrant deserves to thrive in their new home. That's why we've created a platform that offers precise mapping tools to help you find the perfect neighborhood, AI realtors to make the home buying process easier, and relevant information to help you navigate life in a new country.
As we get closer to September, we know there are many questions and lots of information still to be shared before students return to school.
随着九月的临近，我们知道学生开学前还有许多问题和许多信息需要分享。
随着我们逐渐接近九月，我们知道在学生返回学校之前仍有许多问题和许多信息需要分享。本周我们提前发布了一些系统更新和提醒，以准备下周学校办公室的开放。我们正在继续为新学年的学生做准备和计划。
我们正在制作一系列视频，展示小学、初中和高中实施的不同健康措施。此外，我们的合作伙伴Southland Transportation正在完成一部关于黄色校车上将采取的健康措施的视频。我们本希望能早些发布这些视频，但由于不断变化的健康措施要求，这些视频将在下周才准备好。
上周我们宣布，CBE将要求所有能够做到的学生和教职员工（从幼儿园到12年级）在学校佩戴口罩。我们意识到由于医疗或其他需求，不是所有学生和教职员工都能够佩戴口罩。下周我们将发布有关在我们学校使用口罩的指南，包括有关佩戴口罩的时间和地点、口罩休息时间以及哪些人可以豁免佩戴口罩的信息。
省政府将向我们所有的学校提供批量物资，包括给学生提供口罩、给员工提供面罩和给所有人提供手部消毒剂。我们仍在等待关于这些物资如何分发以及何时分发的详细信息。鼓励家庭考虑为孩子购买额外的口罩。
本周早些时候，已向所有在六月截止日期前预先注册交通服务的家庭发送了黄色校车路线和站点信息。司机们将收到将乘坐他们校车的学生名单，并制定座位安排。
虽然CBE交通部门继续接受注册，但根据这些新地址更改的站点将需要六周的时间进行处理。在截止日期后注册的学生在接到CBE交通部门通知之前将无法乘坐校车。
过去，我们为了一般交通而给予家庭选择最合适的站点的灵活性。不幸的是，由于COVID-19的原因，我们不得不改变我们的做法。我们必须控制每辆校车的乘车人数，以保持健康距离，并制定座位安排。
所有学校现已收到初步物资包，以协助保持社交距离，以及提供给员工的清洁用品和口罩。正在安装亚克力屏障和洗手液站。
正如上周提到的，学校计划将在8月底之前发布在学校网站上，一旦校长与教职员工确定了细节。
如果因COVID-19而导致教师缺勤增加，我们将把代课教师名单从1,200人增加到1,600人，增加约33%。我们也同样增加了支持人员的临时员工名单，并增加了清洁人员的数量。
有意让孩子选择在线学习选项的家庭需要在8月24日下午4点之前注册。点击此处（链接）了解更多信息。请注意，当您提交注册表后，您不会立即收到确认电子邮件。家长将在8月28日之前收到学校发出的确认收到注册表的电子邮件。
希望取消在在线学习中注册的孩子的家庭，需要在2020年9月1日之前做出决定。家庭需要通过电子邮件告知孩子所在学校，表示将孩子从在线学习转回面对面授课。
我们感谢您对各种话题的提问和评论。我们将不断更新我们的网站，提供更多确认细节的信息。
我们将继续为您提供持续的更新。请访问我们网站上的COVID-19页面获取更多信息。

As we get closer to September, we know there are many questions and lots of information still to be shared before students return to school. This week we have some system updates and reminders in advance of school offices opening next week. We continue our preparations and planning to welcome students for the new school year.
We are creating a series of videos will that show the different health measures being implemented in elementary, junior and high schools. As well, our partner, Southland Transportation is finalizing a video about what health measures will be in place on yellow school buses. We had hoped to launch these earlier, but given the continuously evolving health measure requirements, the videos will not be ready until next week.
Last week we announced that CBE will require all staff and students who are able (kindergarten to Grade 12) to wear a face mask at school. We recognize that due to medical or other needs, not all students and staff will be able to wear a mask. Next week we will release guidelines for mask use in our schools, including information about the times and locations masks must be worn, when mask breaks will occur and who may be exempted from wearing masks.
The province is providing bulk supplies to all of our schools including face masks for students, face shields for employees and hand sanitizer for all. We are still waiting for details about how and when these will be distributed. Families are encouraged to consider purchasing additional masks for their children.
Earlier this week yellow school bus routes and stops were sent to all families who pre-registered for transportation by the June deadline. Drivers will receive a list of students who will ride their bus and a seating plan will be in place.
While CBE Transportation continues to accept registrations, changes to stops based on these new addresses will take up to six weeks to process. Students registering after the deadline will be unable to ride the bus until they have been notified by CBE Transportation.
In the past, we have provided the flexibility to allow families to choose the stop(s) that work best for them for general transportation. Unfortunately, we have had to change our approach due to COVID-19. We have to control the number of riders per bus to support maintaining a healthy distance and institute seating plans.
All schools have now received their initial kit of materials to assist with physical distancing, as well as cleaning supplies and masks for staff. Acrylic barriers and hand-sanitizing stations are being installed.
As we mentioned last week, school plans will be posted on school websites by the end of August once principals have confirmed details with their staff.
In the event of increased absence by teachers due to COVID-19, we are increasing the number of teachers on our substitute roster by approximately 33 per cent from 1,200 to 1,600. We are making similar additions to our casual roster for support staff, and have also increased the number of cleaning staff.
Families who are interested in the hub online learning option for their children have until 4 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 24 to register. Please note, when you submit your registration you will not immediately receive a confirmation email. Parents will receive an email by Aug. 28 from their school confirming receipt of their registration form.
Families wishing to cancel the registration of their child in hub need to make the decision prior to Sept. 1, 2020. Families need to email their child's school indicating they are moving their child from hub to face-to-face instruction.
We appreciate the questions and comments you have submitted on a variety of topics. We continue to update our website with additional information as details are confirmed.
We will continue to provide you with ongoing updates.. Please visit the COVID-19 page on our website for more information.
