Updates RE: COVID-19

Hello Families, 

I hope this message finds you well. Here are some important things to keep in mind this week at school:

1. Students need a personal water bottle at school to prevent the spread of germs, this bottle will be sent home for cleaning daily

2. Check CBE website for updates 

3. Did you receive an email from LBS on Thursday March 12? if not, email LakeBonavista@cbe.ab.ca  

4. If you are keeping your child home from school, please feel free to continue with daily reading practice, writing practice, and playing the math games that have been sent home throughout the year

5. AHS has directed school to have a ‘Zero Tolerance’ for students or staff with any respiratory symptoms – cough, headache, muscle ache, fatigue, sore throat, fever -  "Students or staff who develop respiratory symptoms should be kept home for 14 days after the start of the symptoms. If students or staff are tested for COVID-19, those who test negative will be advised individually about return to school/child care settings." - CBE Communications

 6. Non-CBE adults are to minimize contact by staying outside the school as much as possible, this means there will be no parent volunteers entering the school until further notice, and parents are asked to wait outside of the school (or inside of vehicles) when picking up children

7. At this time, there will still be a fun lunch on Thursday, teachers will be assisting with fun lunch distribution as there will be no parent council volunteers

Thanks for your support navigating this difficult time!

Ms. Brown
