New Brunswick’s education minister Dominic Cardy provided an update on the upcoming school year in the province on Friday. The province’s schools were closed on March 16 as the novel coronavirus pandemic made its way to Canada.

The education minister said that the novel coronavirus “disease is not done with us,” providing a glimpse at what the “new normal will look like.”

Cardy said there would be staggered start times, breaks and lunches, Full-time learning will be mandatory but it will look different depending on students’ grade level.

In New Brunswick, students in kindergarten up to Grade 8 will attend school full-time. Grades 9 to 12 will be expected to attend school at a minimum of every other day.

When in school, high school students will follow physical-distancing rules.
