Education Minister Adriana LaGrange says that all K-12 students in Alberta will return to in-class learning on Monday (Jan. 10).
Upon return, students will be provided the added protection of medical-grade masks and rapid tests.
The shipments of masks and rapid tests will begin this week with all schools receiving initial shipments by the end of next week.
The health measures already in place such as masking, physical distancing, cohorts, enhanced sanitization, and hygiene practices will continue.
LaGrange also announced that a new online e-Tutoring Hub will be launched to help students and parents to catch up with any lost learning that may have occurred.
The tutoring hub will be for students in grades 4-9 and will be free with unlimited access.
In late December, the province announced it was delaying the start of classes by a week to allow for time to assess the impact of the Omicron variant.
