We are working to ensure continuity of learning in the weeks to come. Once staff members have connected with families, we will begin to share resources to support students. In the meantime, feel free to check our Library Learning Commons Student Resources page. In addition, check out these Suggestions for Diverse Learners.

Updates about COVID-19

As information about public health measures associated with COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) emerges, we will post it here.

Updates about COVID-19

Central Okanagan Public Schools' top priority is always the safety of our staff and students. We continue to work closely with local and provincial health authorities to get the latest information and ensure we cooperate with any recommended measures for COVID-19.

We continue to educate on best practices for preventing the spread of viral illness, including frequent and thorough handwashing and encouraging people to stay home from school or work when they show symptoms.

School campuses will remain closed to visitors unless otherwise invited. Students and families must not enter schools after Spring Break. This includes school grounds, playgrounds, classrooms, and StrongStart Centres. If you have personal items within your child(ren)'s school, we ask that you wait for invitation to pick up these items.

If you are an essential service worker (ESW) with a child aged 0-5, please see this news release from the Province of BC for information on how to connect with childcare.
