District News: Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Nashwaaksis Middle School - December 9, 2021

Title: Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Nashwaaksis Middle School - December 9, 2021
Body: December 9, 2021

 

Dear Parents and Guardians of Nashwaaksis Middle
School,

 

This afternoon we were informed of a positive
Covid-19 case at Nashwaaksis Middle 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 identified as a close contact will
receive a letter from Public Health with specific instructions on what to do
next. Your school principal will send this letter along with instructions on
picking up rapid tests.

 

At this time, all students should plan to attend
school tomorrow, December 10, unless they are required to self-isolate. If
there are changes to this, 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 health-related questions, please
write to COVID-19NB@gnb.ca.

 

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

 

Sincerely,

 

Jay Colpitts, Director of Schools for Covid-19
