The Ministry provides COVID-19 guidance, the best and most current information is embedded within the screening tool. The tool also accounts for individuals who tested positive in the last 90 days, who have traveled etc. COVID 19 School Screening
Highlights to current changes:
Masking is now no longer required, but encouraged by the UGDSB. There are exceptions for a few specific circumstances. Please ensure that your child wears a mask if they fall into the following groups:
- For 6-10 days after a self-isolation period of five days after having COVID-19
- If you are identified as a close contact of someone with COVID-19
- In public spaces, including schools and child cares, for the first 14 days
While masking continues to be strongly encouraged for indoor spaces, it will now be a personal, family, decision and we will work to ensure that all students, staff, and parents/guardians respect the decisions of others to either wear a mask or to go without one.
Please continue to use the COVID Screening tool daily before your child attends school https://covid-19.ontario.ca/school-screening/ . It will continue to be important for students with illness of any kind to remain home while they have symptoms.
Have a great weekend.
