Maskwacîs Education Schools CommissionAs a preventative measure, and to mitigate the risk of COVID-19 in schools, the Maskwacîs Education Schools Commission (MESC) initiated a MESC-wide reset. This decision was made in collaboration with the Maskwacîs Directors of Emergency Management to help control the spread of COVID-19. We continue to keep the health and safety of students and staff as our highest priority.
This means:
- All in-school classes are paused
- Schools are closed to students and the public from November 19th until December 7th. Classes may resume on December 8th.
- MESC schools and administration buildings will be closed to staff from November 20th, 2020 until December 7, 2020
- Enhanced cleaning protocols at all MESC schools will be initiated.
Learning Packages will not be sent home during this time. You can access the MESC website for materials to support your child’s learning at www.maskwacised.ca/learningfromhome/. Teachers will continue to contact awâsisak and oskâyak (children and youth), as well as ohpikinahawasiwin (parents/guardians) during this period to discuss assignments and report cards.
Students can connect with their school counsellor by using our counsellor request form at sites.google.com/maskwacised.ca/mesccounselling/connect-with-a-counsellor?authuser=0
Students can also access many fun videos and activities at sites.google.com/maskwacised.ca/mesccounselling/ . There are also resources available to support ohpikinahawasiwin (parents/guardians) in supporting their children while they work from home.
The Counselling website is intended to provide support in non-urgent situations. If an urgent situation regarding mental health and wellness arises, please contact Mobile mental health 780-362-2150 (call or text).
