District News: Confirmed Covid-19 Cases at Hartland Community School - September 29, 2021

Title: Confirmed Covid-19 Cases at Hartland Community School - September 29, 2021
Body: September 29, 2021



 

Dear Parents and Guardians of Hartland
Community School,

 

Today we were informed of positive Covid-19
cases at Hartland Community School. We are working with Public Health officials
to identify any students and school personnel who may have been in contact with
the cases.

 

Anyone required to self-isolate will get a
letter from Public Health with specific instructions on what to do next. The
letter has been emailed today from your school principal, designated staff
member, or Transportation Manager. If you are not contacted, your child can continue with
regular activities unless they are already self-isolating, as advised by Public
Health.

 

Students will move to distance learning
tomorrow, Thursday, September 30. This means students will not report to school but
learn from home instead.

 

Kindergarten to grade 8
teachers will communicate a plan for learning with parents. We
recognize that the opportunity to connect with the teacher may vary among
families. Please do not worry if you can’t. We understand that this is short
notice, and we will adjust as required.

 

For grades 9-12 students, teachers will move to
online learning per regular class schedules. Please watch for
communications from your teachers.

 

Please note that all students should plan to
return to school on Friday, October 1, except for those Public
Health has identified as close contacts and required to self-isolate. If this changes, you will be
advised.

 

It is natural to want to know if your child may
have been exposed to the virus but to protect the privacy of students and
school personnel, details, such as names, will not be released.

 

Children and young people look to the adults in
their lives to guide them on how to react to worrying and stressful events.
Parents are encouraged to talk to their children about any anxieties and remind
them to treat one another with kindness and respect, in person and on social
media.

 

If your child is showing any symptoms of
Covid-19, you should:

 
Register
them online for a test by clicking “Get tested” on the GNB coronavirus
website (www.gnb.ca/coronavirus). OR
Contact
Tele-Care 811. The 811 operators will evaluate your child
before sending them for testing.
 

If you have questions that are health-related,
please write to COVID-19NB@gnb.ca

 

Thank you for your continued support as we
respond to the pandemic.

 

Sincerely,

 

David McTimoney, Superintendent
