Spring message

In November last year, our board chair, Kathleen McMillan, sent a message to our community to thank each and every one of you for digging deep and finding the strength and endurance to carry on.

Now, this many months later, we are still digging deep, we are still carrying on. Spring brings many welcome changes including longer days and warmer weather. As we head into a well-deserved break, we must still remember that the pandemic is not over and we need to follow:

• Staying home when you are sick
• Getting tested if you have symptoms of COVID-19
• Wearing a mask when social (physical) distancing is not possible
• Avoiding non-essential travel

Public health orders remain in place and include self-isolation guidelines for travel outside Manitoba. We encourage families to keep this in mind as they make their Spring Break plans.

While the recent release of the province’s education review has added yet another layer of uncertainty for many, we want to assure you that learning in Pembina Trails will continue with no changes to our schools, classrooms or valued programs for the remainder of this school year.

The last day of classes, before the break, will be Friday, March 26, 2021. We look forward to welcoming students back on Monday, April 5, 2021.

Enjoy the opportunity to slow down and rest– you have certainly earned it.
