The Edmonton Public School Board and the Edmonton Catholic School Division released their initial back-to-school guidelines on August 4. Edmonton Catholic school administrators will determine entry points for students, and whether the drop-off and pickup schedule should be staggered. Edmonton public students will be assigned a door to use for entering and exiting. Edmonton public says it is looking into the efficacy of shields, saying there is some difficulty involved in cleaning and disinfecting them. Edmonton public is also mandating their use in classrooms, saying physical distancing will be challenging, while Edmonton Catholic is following the provincial guidelines.
