District News: Labour Action Over - Students Return to School Monday, November 15

Title: Labour Action Over - Students Return to School Monday, November 15
Body: Hello,
Families of Anglophone West School District,

 

I am
very pleased to share the news that we can welcome students and staff back to
schools on Monday, November 15.  Job action with CUPE unions across the
province ended this weekend.  Here is a link to the announcement made last
night:

Preparations
for the return to school are occurring across our district today.

 

Please
remember that we will continue to follow safety measures as outlined in the "Healthy
and Safe Schools" guidelines that are found on the Department of Education
and Early Childhood Development website.  COVID is still a reality we must
live with and following the required precautions will help minimize the risk of
spreading the virus.

For
those who have been told to self-isolate due to being a close contact or having
been diagnosed with COVID, please continue to follow these instructions from
Public Health.  The testing program will resume with any new cases that
impact schools.  Students will no longer be required to show their
negative test results at school.  Instructions would come should testing
be required for your child.

 

I wish
to thank all those families who worked so hard to try and maintain student studies
over the past two weeks.  As a parent, I understand how challenging this
has been.  Likewise, I offer my thanks to the teachers and administrators
who worked diligently to ensure meaningful instruction continued, and
connections with students were made during this time. 

 

We are
very pleased to be back at school tomorrow!

 

Sincerely,

 

David
McTimoney, Superintendent of Schools
