Any student, staff, volunteer or family member (who shares accommodations) that has returned from travel anywhere outside of Canada after March 8 (ie. starting Monday, March 9) will now be restricted from attendance at school (or district office) for two weeks from the time of return. This includes the USA. We are required to report attendance to District Office each day. This information will, in turn, be forwarded to EECD. If you arrived back in Canada after March 8, could you please send me an email to Jeremy MacIver at jeremy.maciver@nbed.nb.ca, so he can accurately record that data. Thank you.
This message has been sent to all 23 000 Anglophone West School District families who are registered for communications and associated with our 69 schools. Below you will find a link to a memo from Dominic Cardy, the Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD). This memo describes new restrictions regarding travel outside of Canada with respect to attendance at school. If you have any questions, I encourage you to contact EECD at 453-3678. Absences that fit under this new category should be reported to your school administration or homeroom teacher. Thank you.
