MEMO

To: Students and Families

From: Ed Walsh, Associate Director of Education (Programs and Human Resources)

Subject: Masking Policy; COVID-19 Protocols

Date: May 13, 2022


Dear Students and Families,

Further to our April 13, 2022 memo regarding masking and COVID-19 protocols, please be advised that, in consultation with Public Health, the District has determined that current masking protocols in schools and on school buses will remain in effect until May 20, 2022.

Commencing Tuesday, May 24, 2022, the masking protocol will become family choice. However, masking remains highly recommended for students and staff.

By continuing to strongly encourage masking, it is our hope that it will continue to reduce the transition of germs and viruses within the school environment and help us preserve valuable instructional time and extracurricular activities as we near the end of the school year.

To that end, we encourage you to continue with the following:

● Individual hand washing and sanitation; and,

● Ensure individuals utilize the daily school screening questionnaire and remain home when unwell.

Thank you for your continued attention to these matters.
