District News: Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Meduxnekeag Consolidated School - October 7, 2021

Title: Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Meduxnekeag Consolidated School - October 7, 2021
Body: October 7, 2021

 

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 

This evening we were informed of a positive
Covid-19 case at Meduxnekeag Consolidated 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
