This is my first day
back to school since March.
They told us there'll
be a lot of hand washing.
It's safe to say
we're getting a clean start
to the new school year.

Hey, guys, it's Émile.
It's my first
official day of school.
I went in on Monday
to get my picture taken,
get my locker, and learn about
the new rules put in place
to protect us
from this nasty COVID-19.

Before I leave, which one should
I put on, this one or this one?
How about this one
or this one?
Or maybe this one?
Now, this one's perfect.
I'm almost up
and ready to head out.
I might also need this.
Let's go.
Bye bye.
Woman:
 Bye bye.
Man: Bye now.
 Have a great day!

I just arrived at school.
I'm going in. Wish me luck.
See you this afternoon.
Just came off the bus
and walking home
and I'm going to tell
you all about my day.
I've just survived
my first day of school,
saved by the mask.
Every day we wash our hands
at least 15 times.
16, and we must wash our desks
and chairs after every course.
In every classroom
there's a zone,
when the teacher
is in that zone,
they don't have
to put on their mask,
but once they leave that zone,
they must put on safety goggles
and their masks to walk
freely around the class,
not only that, if they want
to use the school computers,
they must carry around their
own keyboard and mouse.
After my first day of school,
I have to admit
it wasn't that bad.
I got to see all my friends
and see my teachers
For CBC Kids News,
I'm Émile Burbidge in St-Bruno,.
Don't forget your mask.
