Reading, writing and regrets?

MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Parents bring children not affected by the implementation of remote learning because of the four new positive cases of COVID-19 at John Pritchard School Wednesday morning. Some students at John Pritchard School will transition to remote learning after Manitoba Public Health informed the school of four new positive COVID-19 cases, a memo sent to parents Tuesday states. There are five cases in total at the Henderson Highway school. Students/cohorts in grades 6-8, grade 4-5 split and those in the before/after school program at the Henderson Highway school are affected. Remote learning is expected to continue for 14 days but may be shortened or lengthened as the investigation continues, the memo states. 200916 - Wednesday, September 16, 2020
