Return to School Guidelines

Return to School Guidelines 2020-21

Outdoor/on the land education, field trips and overnight trips

The risk of COVID-19 transmission is lower in outdoor settings than it is indoors; as a result, outdoor education and on the land programming is encouraged.
When physical distancing is not possible (e.g. sitting on a bus), students should be assigned a partner or seat that does not change for the duration of the trip, load the bus from back to front and unload front to back, and wear non-medical masks
Schools should develop a plan if a student becomes symptomatic before or on an excursion or field trip.
Field trips within Yukon are permitted if public health guidelines are followed. Guidance is based on the current epidemiology of COVID-19 and will be reevaluated as necessary
International field trips are not currently permitted.
