In spite of a lot of cleaning efforts over the weekend Mitchell Woods PS will continue to be closed on Monday, October 20 to allow for final testing, cleaning and preparing classrooms for students to return. We anticipate that students and staff will be able to return on Tuesday,October 21.
Students are to continue remote learning where possible. Staff will have asynchronous material for students to work through in the afternoon to allow them time to set up classrooms for students. All buses and taxis will be cancelled to the school until it reopens.
We will send communications out tomorrow with an update on progress and plans for Tuesday.
The teams have been working hard and the school is looking good - we're almost there.
Thanks again for your incredible community support.
