The Kamloops-Thompson School District says it is ironing out how to manage in-class learning for its largest high schools.

Superintendent Alison Sidow says the school district will lean on staff at Valleyview, NorKam and South Kam secondary schools for guidance on what kind of adjustments are needed.

“So that’s a very different situation to be managing than it would be, for instance, in Logan Lake, Chase or Clearwater, where you have 120 students in a school. We can easily and comfortably bring back those students, probably right away, to full-time, in-class instruction.”

The province says some larger high schools could consider letting students take two classes every 10 weeks, instead of up to eight classes over the entire school year.

It has suggest adjusting the bell schedule and timetables for high schools with 800-1,500 students. It also says there are 16 schools in B.C. with 1,500-2,000 students, and says those schools may need an alternate method of remote and self-directed learning.

Final details on back-to-school plans from school districts will be ready by August 26, before the new school year starts on Sept. 8.
