In-person learning is essential for the learning and overall well-being of children and youth. Therefore, barring catastrophic circumstances, schools should remain open for in-person learning. The level of community COVID-19 burden should inform the degree of school-based measures: the provided framework should be implemented at the regional level by public health units, considering local vaccination coverage rate and metrics of COVID-19 disease severity and to a lesser extent, SARS-CoV-2 transmission rate. Permanent measures that support the ongoing operation of schools, irrespective of the COVID-19 pandemic, include vaccination of all eligible individuals, exclusion of sick students and staff, hand hygiene, adequate ventilation, and environmental cleaning. Temporary measures (e.g., masking, physical distancing, cohorting) implemented in response to changes in COVID-19 disease burden should take into consideration student age, grade, and vaccination status. Re-initiation and maintenance of extracurricular activities (e.g., music, sports, clubs) is an important component of return-to-school plans.

Para quienes estamos en el mundo de la Educación, sabemos por formación profesional, que la formación permanente es una tarea intrínseca a nuestro servicio. Por lo tanto, los cambios que ha obligado, y está obligando la pandemia del Covid 19, también ha tocado profundamente la educación. Estamos frente a un momento difícil de emergencia educativa, pero que también es una oportunidad de renovación, de cambio, de progreso, de actualización, de mantener nuestro equilibrio emocional y cuidar nuestra salud mental. El cierre de las escuelas y la educación a distancia, nos ha golpeado sin distinción, tocando el meollo emocional de nuestra vocación docente.

Many changes and challenges have come about because of COVID-19. And while we are still discovering the considerable impact this virus can have on physical health, there is as much to learn about its impact on mental health—both in the short term as well as in the months and years to come.

Students and their families have experienced the COVID-19 pandemic in unique and varied ways. Many of us, including our children, have been left with a collective sense of loss. The various losses experienced may have included disrupted learning, limited social interactions with friends and loved ones, and a lack of favoured recreational activities. These feelings of loss can challenge our well-being and may even lead to thoughts of suicide for some. In this session we will present strategies to help you prepare, prevent and respond if your child or teen is experiencing significant feelings of loss or thoughts of suicide.
