It's back to school time.
While the local French Catholic board got an early start yesterday, the other three local boards are starting classes today.
Tarmo Poldmaa - Principal of Wawa's Sir James Dunn Public School - explains things will work much the same as last year.
Poldmaa also asks parents to respect COVID guidelines, including mask requirements for students in Grades 1 and up when indoors - though kindergarteners are encouraged to wear one, too - and self-screening for symptoms before going to school.
With students heading to school again, Superior East Ontario Provincial Police Detective Constable Trevor Tremblay urges drivers to take it slow and watch for children, further reminding buses will be out on the roads again.
Tremblay also reminds students to wear helmets when biking and to look both ways and be "proactive" watching for traffic when walking or biking.
