If you're heading
back to school this fall,
the stuff you're
throwing in your backpack
might look a little different.
Here's a few things to keep
you and your friends safe
when going back to school.

You can expect to see more
handwashing stations
and hand sanitizer pumps
around your school,
but it's a good idea to carry
your own, just in case.
Most Provinces are giving masks
to everyone
going back to school.
If you live in B.C., like me,
each student will be given
two reusable masks.
You can also bring
your own mask from home...

..if you want it to match your
outfit.

When you're not wearing it,
you should stash it
in a paper bag
to keep it clean.
If you're allowed
to bring personal items,
be sure to label them
and don't share anything
with your friends, especially
food or water bottles.
When you get home,
you'll want to throw
your used masks in the laundry
or wash them right away
and wipe down things
like your phone,
pens, and pencils.
For CBC Kids News,
I'm Isabel in Vancouver
and have a great
first day of school.
