Back to school: how do we minimize public health risk and help kids thrive?

I am not even going to try tackling this topic, as I'm not an expert--I'm not a doctor, I am not a teacher, and I don't have the answers.

I am just a mom worried about her kids, and also worried about everyone that would be involved, when kids to back to school in any capacity. Yes, I think they need school. But also yes, I'm worried about what that means for the health of everyone else.

Here is the latest guidance from SickKids about reopening schools:

Back to School Guidance Statement

In our region, there is a low caseload of COVID, so, in theory, I think we should go back to school with enhanced protocols. But what about the rest of the province?

What do you think?
