District News: Confirmed Covid-19 Cases at Multiple ASD-W Schools - December 12, 2021

Title: Confirmed Covid-19 Cases at Multiple ASD-W Schools - December 12, 2021
Body: December 12, 2021

 

 
 

Dear ASD-W Parents and
Guardians,

 

 
 

This message is being sent
to all families of the following schools:

 
Saint
Mary’s Academy
Meduxnekeag
Consolidated School
Nashwaaksis
Middle School
Hartland Community School
Devon Middle School
Priestman Elementary School
George Street Elementary School
 

 
 

This weekend we were informed
of one or more positive cases of COVID-19 at these four schools. We are working
with Public Health officials to identify any students and school personnel who
may have been in contact with the cases.

 

 
 

Anyone identified as a
close contact has already or will receive a letter from Public
Health with specific instructions on what to do next. This letter will be
sent by your school principal, school staff member, or ASD-W staff member, along
with instructions on picking up rapid tests.

 

 
 

At this time, all
students should plan to attend school, Monday, December 13, 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 Response
