Confirmed Covid-19 Case at Devon Middle School - November 25, 2021
Body:
November 25, 2021
Dear
Parents and Guardians,
Today
we were informed of a positive Covid-19 case at Devon 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. This letter will be
sent by your school principal, along with instructions on when rapid tests can
be picked up.
All
students should plan to attend school on Friday, November 26, unless they are
required to self-isolate.
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
