January 27, 2022

Thank you to all families who participated in the reopening survey for Biidaaban Kinoomaagegamik and Shki Waase-Aaban Binoojiinh Gamik. We appreciate the time you took to complete the survey and the valuable information it provided.

The Education Committee reviewed the results on January 26, 2022, and formulated a recommendation based on the results and an analysis of the current COVID-19 situation in Sagamok. On January 27, 2022, the committee recommended to Chief and Council that Shki Waase-Aaban Binoojiinh Gamik reopen on February 7, 2022, and that Biidaaban Kinoomaagegamik reopen on February 14, 2022, to in-person learning.

It has been decided, by Chief and Council, to support and approve the recommendations to reopen the educational facilities as stated above.

We continue to assess a possible hybrid educational approach for Biidaaban, and a further update will be provided next week. In the meantime, please continue the excellent work you have done with COVID-19 precautions. This continued diligence will help us meet these target dates.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to class and thank you for your patience during this challenging time. Next week, we will reach out again with updated guidance on the back-to-school plans.
