Thanks to the declining Omicron wave, the elementary schools of the area B, return of holidays, find, on Monday, February 21, a lightened health protocol. The latter goes by level 3 at level 2 in primary schools (kindergarten and elementary) after the winter holidays of the different zones (21 February, so, for zone B, February 28 for Zone A, March 7 for zone C).
The first to return are the schoolchildren of the academies of Strasbourg, Nancy-Metz, Reims, Lille, Amiens, Rouen, Caen, Rennes, Nantes, Orleans-Tours, Nice and Aix-Marseille. Colleges and high schools remain at the level 2 protocol.
This entails:
- The lifting of the mask’s port obligation in the playground in elementary schools – it was not already mandatory for kindergarten children.
- A lightening of student brewing rules, which will now be more widely mixed with comrades of their level and no longer only their class.
- The practice of physical activity indoors and without mask, with the exception of contact sports.
- The end of the attestations on the honor of families after the first self-test.
towards the end of the mask inside the classes
The Minister of National Education, Jean-Michel Blanquer, recently mentioned the possibility that children can “very probably” remove the mask indoors at school “before the end of the school year”.
The relief of the health protocol for the return of the winter holidays is made possible thanks to a health situation “in very clear improvement”. According to figures published on Friday by Rue de Grenelle, there are currently two areas on vacation – 2,274 closed classes, compared with 16,836 on February 3rd.
According to the level 2 protocol, “students can be distributed in a class corresponding to their level in case of absence of their teacher,” writes the department in the Fair to the updated questions on his website.
A more serene situation than in January
At the canteen, “Group stability is sought and, to the extent possible, the same students lunch every day at the same table in the first degree. It is recommended to organize an individual service (trays, Cutlery, Water, Dressage on plate or plateau) “,” he continues. “Meetings with parents of students should be organized according to an appointment system, to avoid too much brewing of people”, he note.
For Guislaine David, Secretary General of SNUIPP-FSU, the first primary school union, “the resumption of school will be much more serene than it was in January.” “This protocol relief is done in a progressive way, it’s reassuring because it must still remain vigilant”.
The rules will also be relaxed for the tests: from February 28, students contact cases should no longer have to do three but only one after two days. This relaxation will concern all contacts in the population.
