Ontario school children kindergarten through grade 12, will return to the classroom this fall, full-time and in person.
In a joint announcement Thursday by Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Stephen Lecce, the province rolled out its plan to see students back in the classroom in September, five days a week.
The return to school policy includes following strict health and safety guidelines that will be established before school starts. Masks will be mandatory for school staff. Students grades 4 to 12 will be required to wear a cloth mask.
