The health, safety, and well-being of students and staff are top priorities for Bluewater District School Board. To support in-person learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have developed processes and strategies that maximize safety, while facilitating school operations and programming. We continue to follow the advice and guidelines of Grey Bruce Public Health to ensure that we have the most current and relevant information related to best practices for health and safety in our schools and work sites.
