The school division says its plan to re-open classes includes an open house and cultural event for students on Wednesday.

That's the same day the community is organizing what is being called a Reclaiming Our School walk.

A 17-year-old boy, who can't be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is scheduled to appear in court in Meadow Lake today.

He is charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder.
