It says suggestions will be provided to school administrators to accommodate parents amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Options may include organizing an outdoor welcoming activity for the child, teacher and two parents; holding a welcome event in the gym and then allowing one parent to enter the classroom with their child; or using staggered entry times.
The province says schools will let parents know what their specific plans are.
The Newfoundland and Labrador English School District, which represents approximately 64,000 students and more than 8,200 employees, presented its full back-to-school plan earlier this month.
