Facemasks: We will provide each student with two cloth facemasks on the first day of school

All students (PP-Grade 12) will be required to wear a mask when travelling on the school bus.

When at school, all students Grades 4 to 5 will be required to wear a mask. Children in Pre-Primary to Grade 3 are not required to wear a mask in school.

Students in grae 4and 5 must wear their masks (including in hallways and other common areas) when they are unable to physically distance by 2 metres. If students can be seated two metres apart, facing the same direction, they may remove their mask while at their desk.

Masks can be removed when students are eating and drinking or taking part in indoor physical activity when a mask cannot be worn. Masks are not required during outdoor activities.

We will provide each student with two cloth facemasks on the first day of school. We will also have a supply on hand if a child forgets or loses one during the day.

Public Health has encouraged all of us to socialize the wearing of masks as a measure to protect our collective health. Here is a link to a video that you can watch with your children before the first day of school: https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/video/covid-19-wear-non-...
