Posts: COVID Update from David McTimoney

Good Evening ASD-W Families,



 

Here are a few updates of interest.

 

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD) has
updated the "Return to School – Direction for School Districts and
Schools" document.  Please remember that this is a living document
and changes, at time, in response to the pandemic.  This link will take
you to the EECD page where the document is kept: https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/education.html

 

The following changes have been made to the
document:  

 
COVID-19
symptoms
– updates include reference to the new online tool for
self-assessment “Get Tested”.
Appendix
D2- Sanitization of a School Bus during a Pandemic
- The appendix
has been updated to clarify the bus cleaning procedures.
Appendix
I – Community Use of Schools –
The appendix has been updated to
extend timeline for the suspension of community use to January 2021. 
Appendix
K – Outbreak management -
The appendix has been updated to
include the new directive when responding to a confirmed COVID-19 case(s)
in a school.
 

I am also including a document that describes the
impact on the school system when the "Orange Level" is in effect,
such as it is at this time in Provincial Zones 1 (Moncton/South-East) and 5
(Restigouche/Campbellton).  Please note...the communities
within ASD-W are all currently at the "Yellow Level", and the
"Orange Level" parameters described in this document do not apply to
us at this time.  Those students and staff who have traveled
to the zones that are at the "Orange Level" (since it began on the
Thanksgiving Weekend) must follow some additional protocols as described in
this document:  ORANGELEVEL 2020.10.15 FINAL.docx 

 

Please continue to encourage your children to
follow good hygiene practices...washing their hands, coughing and sneezing into
their elbow and wearing a mask when they are required to do so!

 

Thank you,

 

David McTimoney, Superintendent
