COVID-19 UPDATE – IN-CLASS INSTRUCTION FOR HIGH SCHOOL COMPLETION, FOUNDATIONS AND LINC CLASSES
We hope you all had a wonderful and restful summer. We are very excited to welcome students back to our sites at NBAEC, SBAEC, Windsor, Edmonds and Burnaby South. Our classes will all be blended for the upcoming Fall Semester, meaning that all classes will be a combination of online and in-person. Most of your lessons will be online while you will be placed into smaller learning groups for face-to-face instruction. These smaller learning groups allow us to maintain physical distancing guidelines as outlined by our Provincial Health Officer.
We understand that these times have been stressful and challenging for everyone but we hope that the return of some in-class instruction will provide our students greater learning opportunities moving forward.
In accordance with our Provincial Health Officer’s recommendations, we require that students bring masks to school to wear in high traffic areas–hallways, the Main Office, etc–and that students be mindful of the 2 metre physical distancing guidelines that have been put forth.
Your first day of classes will be online; this will provide teachers the opportunity to connect with you and explain when you will first be allowed access to your classroom. Once you have been informed of the day you will be attending class, you may begin attending during your designated time slot.
We are very much looking forward to welcoming you all back to our sites!
OUR MAIN OFFICE HAS MOVED!!
Our Community and Continuing Education Main Office has moved from 5325 Kincaid Street to Burnaby North Secondary located at 751 Hammarskjold Drive. Our phone number will remain the same – 604-296-6901. Note: There is currently a construction project in the area. Please phone ahead before coming.
Certificate/Diploma programs and COVID:
We are offering a variety of course formats; ‘in person’, online and blended versions. Each program is unique and will vary in terms of the format it is offered in. Please be sure we have your correct email address in case we have to contact you about any changes.
Online classes are regular program sessions and all the attendance policies outlined for in-person classes will equally apply. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all the equipment needed to attend classes online is functional. To be fully present and participating in the online sessions you will need a working camera, microphone, and audio system. Turning on your camera and being visually present in class is necessary. Students who join the online class while doing other unrelated activities (like shopping, baking or driving) will be asked to leave the session and return when they are ready to fully attend the class.
For classes that are held ‘in person’ facemasks are required in common areas such as the entrance, the hallway, the washroom. Once seated in the classroom facemasks are optional.
