Our PHO, Dr. Henry recently announced a change to the mask wearing policy for schools across the province. Until further notice, students in Grades 4 to 12, must always wear masks except when eating or drinking and it is encouraged that students in Kindergarten to Grade 3 also wear masks (but not mandatory). Exception made for a student with a medical condition preventing them from wearing a mask.
If your child does not have a mask or forgets to bring one to school, we will provide a mask for them.
