The updated GCDS Reopening Plan 2020 calls for all students to return to campus for Grades N-8 in the "Yellow Plan" model—full, in-person with program modifications to support elevated health and safety protocols in place—and an "Orange Plan" or hybrid model designed to de-densify for Grades 9-12, with elevated health and safety protocols in place. This Reopening Plan has been developed with the information available to us as of August 17 and is subject to change based on new or changing information.
