Fraser Valley Continuing Education: Returning to the Classroom

We're working to create a plan.

Fraser Valley Continuing Education is closely following the guidelines of the Province of BC Ministry of Health, to allow our Learners to return to the classroom on a voluntary basis.

We also want to be clear that classroom attendance is, as it always has been, strictly voluntary. While it is not possible for us to provide a virtual learning alternative for ALL classes, we are working to provide this as much as possible. We want you to feel truly comfortable returning to class, which is why we're offering this survey, so that we can hear from you directly.

Please note that these questions relate specifically to our own offices and classrooms, which are only for adult education. We are not asking how you feel about the regular school district and policies related to classroom education for children.

This survey is completely anonymous. We want to know your true thoughts about each of these questions. We appreciate you taking the time to complete this.

You can always reach out to us via email, at info@fraservalleycontinuingeducation.ca, with more comments and questions.
