District News: Confirmed Covid-19 at Fredericton High School - December 15, 2021

Title: Confirmed Covid-19 at Fredericton High School - December 15, 2021
Body: December 15, 2021

 

Dear Parents and
Guardians of Fredericton High School,

 

This afternoon we were
informed of a positive COVID-19 case at the 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 or school administrator has
sent or will be sending this letter along with instructions on picking up rapid
tests.

 

At this time, all
students should plan to attend school tomorrow, December 16, 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
