District News: Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Liverpool Street Elementary and Hartland Community School - Oct 5, 2021

Title: Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Liverpool Street Elementary and Hartland Community School - Oct 5, 2021
Body: October 5, 2021



 

Dear Parents and Guardians of Liverpool Street
Elementary School and Hartland Community School,

 

We have been informed of a positive Covid-19
case at both Liverpool Street Elementary School and 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 case.

 

Anyone required to self-isolate will get a letter
from Public Health with specific instructions on what to do next. The letter
will be emailed to you from your school principal or a designated staff member
tonight or tomorrow morning. If you are not contacted, your child can continue with
regular activities as per the provincial regulations in place.   
 

 

Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 6, will be a
distance learning day for all students in both schools. This means students will not report to the
school for regular classes. Your school will communicate a plan for learning
with you. We recognize that the opportunity to connect with the school may vary
among families. Please do not worry if you cannot connect. We understand that
this is short notice, and we will adjust as required.

 

Please note that distance learning will be for
one day only, at this time. All students should plan to return to school on Thursday, October 7,
except for
those whom Public Health has identified as close contacts and are 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
