District News: Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Tobique Valley High School - October 7, 2021

Title: Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Tobique Valley High School - October 7, 2021
Body: October 7, 2021


Dear Parents and Guardians,


Today we were informed of a positive Covid-19 case at Tobique Valley High 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. 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.     


Tomorrow, Friday, October 8, will be a distance learning day for all students.


Please watch for communications from your teachers, who will connect with you regarding a plan for learning. We recognize that the opportunity to connect with the school 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.


All students should plan to return to school on Tuesday, October 12, 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
