​Dear Parents/Guardian Students:

As you are aware, all schools in New Brunswick have been closed for two weeks, beginning March 16, 2020. As with every other school in the province, CNBA is scheduled to reopen on March 30, 2020; however, this date may change depending on the status of COVID- 19. I understand that the closure of school brings uncertainty; however, we will work through this together and all will be ok. I truly believe that decisions are being made in the best interests of public health & safety.

As per the direction provided by the Superintendent of Anglophone West School District (ASD-W), schools will only be accessible to those responsible for cleaning. Until further notice, the following guidelines will be adhered to:

·         No one, other than custodians, is permitted to enter the building.

·         Student work/lessons are not being assigned at this time.

·         Co-operative Education 120 students are not to attend their placements.

·         Students taking distance education/online courses can continue with their course at home.

As I receive information, I will do my best to get it to you in a timely manner. As we move forward, please keep in mind that the purpose of the school closure is to try to prevent further transmission of COVID-19 through self-isolation and social distancing. Public health experts are urging everyone to be aggressive in their efforts to “flatten the curve”. Everyone needs to take these actions seriously and stay safe”. Please take care of yourself, keep informed and stay positive.

Yours in education,

Barbara A. Long
