A website keeps track of all of the covid cases in schools in Alberta. We have a population of around 4.5 million with 2 large urban centers. Here are the highlights of covid in schools in Alberta. To be honest most teachers thought it was going to be worse. My main school district in Calgary offered either online or in person. Most went in person and other than wearing masks and sanitizing more there is no way social distancing works with the large classes at high school. There are still 4 classes a day where every group is totally different so students can take what they need to get into their program of choice. Numbers have really been spiking recently so many of us are expecting a shutdown of some sort. I believe they are really trying to keep schools open but we will see.
