Important Information from Public Health for Alma PS
School Case Information Sheet_March 29_AlmaPS
March 29th, 2021
Dear parents/guardians and staff,
Public Health has notified us that an individual in our school has tested positive for COVID-19.
If you have questions, please visit the “For Schools” section of the WDGPH website: WDGPH Website.
Our building is safe and remains open to staff and students. Custodial staff have completed a thorough cleaning and disinfecting of the school, as part of our enhanced cleaning protocol.
We will continue to work closely with Public Health and take their direction as they complete their investigation. Where Public Health determines there was a transmission risk to others in the school, they will perform a risk assessment for any contacts. All students and staff determined to be at high risk of exposure will be directed to isolate and recommended to be tested within their isolation period.
So you are aware, the school board is required to post information about positive cases in a school setting on the board website. You can find that link here: https://www.ugdsb.ca/community/coronavirus/reopening-schools-plan/covid-19-advisory-reporting/. The identity of the individual is protected by privacy legislation and will not be shared.
Thank you.
Shannon Spike
