On May 6, LaGrange said in-school classes would remain cancelled for the remainder of the current school year and that the province was considering three scenarios for resuming them in the fall. Those scenarios were:

• Normal school operations are able to resume

• Schools are partially re-opened, with some level of restrictions

• Teacher-directed at-home learning continues.

As part of Stage 2 of Alberta’s Relaunch Strategy, which will commence this Friday, schools can reopen for requested diploma exams and summer classes.
