Title: Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Donald Fraser Memorial School - Distance Learning Day October 4, 2021
Body: October 4, 2021



 

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 

Our apologies for this message coming to you on
short notice.

 

Late last night, we were informed of a new
Covid-19 case at Donald Fraser Memorial School. We are working with Public
Health officials to identify any students and school personnel who may have
been in contact with the case.

 

Today, Monday, October 4, will be a
distance learning day for all students. This will allow for
contact tracing to occur. Your child(ren)’s teacher will communicate a plan for learning
with you. 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.

 

Anyone required to
self-isolate will get a letter from Public Health with specific instructions on
what to do next. This letter will be emailed to you from your school principal
or a designated staff member. If you are not contacted, your child can continue
with regular activities.     

 

All students should plan to return
to school on Tuesday, October 5, except for those whom Public Health has
identified as close contacts and are required to self-isolate. If there is a need to keep the school closed longer, we
will let you know.

 

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 health-related questions,
please write to COVID-19NB@gnb.ca

 

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

 

Sincerely,

 

David McTimoney, Superintendent
