Dear Families and Staff, 

We have been notified of two cases of COVID-19 at our school. The identity of the individuals is protected by privacy legislation and will not be shared. We wish them a full and speedy recovery.

Those identified as close contacts have been notified and are receiving information from the Durham Region Health Department. Staff and students who were not dismissed from school are deemed low risk and should self-monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19. 

Please continue to self screen daily before entering the school. Common COVID-19 symptoms include fever (temperature of 37.8 degrees Celsius or greater), chills, new or worsening cough, shortness of breath, decrease or loss of taste or smell, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Other symptoms for adults over 18 may include fatigue (generally feeling unwell or tired), or muscle aches and pain. For more information about COVID-19, please visit www.durham.ca/COVID19.

If staff or students develop one or more symptoms, immediately self-isolate, get tested at a local COVID-19 Assessment Centre at covidswab.lh.ca. If you are unable to self refer online follow up with Durham Health Connection Line (DHCL) at 1-800-841-2729.

Follow these steps to help protect yourself from COVID-19:

• wear a non-medical mask or face covering
• wash your hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer
• sneeze and cough into your sleeve
• avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth
• avoid contact with people who are sick
• stay home and self-isolate if you are sick
• use physical distancing
• self screen daily 
• get vaccinated for COVID-19, if eligible

Our school remains open, and as always, we continue to follow all public health and provincial recommendations, including thorough cleaning and disinfecting of all areas; frequent and proper handwashing by everyone in the building; wearing masks; maintaining physical distancing to the fullest extent possible, and following any other steps directed by Durham Region Health.

We will let families know of any further developments. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Silvia Grdovic
