Please read the full message sent January 11, 2022 from our Head of School here →
As we start up in 2022, we are challenged by the Omicron variant and asked to prepare for the impact it will have on our school in the coming weeks and months.
While we are anticipating further guidance from the government, I would like to reiterate a few of the critical health and safety procedures that families are expected to support:
Stay home if sick: Keeping your child home when they are sick or showing symptoms.
Complete daily health check: Parents are responsible for completing a daily health screen prior to sending their child to school. Essentially, if your child has a fever, cough, difficulty breathing, loss of sense of smell or taste, sore throat, headache or any of the symptoms listed on the CDC website, they should be staying home until those symptoms subside.
If you are concerned and are considering getting a COVID test, please follow the online assessment tool found here. It will guide you through a series of questions that will point you in the right direction.
Let us know of any absences: Accurate communication – Please inform the school when your child will be away and the reason for their absence. This will help us make the best decisions about possible closures. Email attendance@meadowridge.bc.ca or call 604.467.4444 with any absences.
Campus closed to visitors: The campus is now closed to visitors, including parents. While this is unfortunate, it is a measure that is required by public health. We are asking that when parents pick up their children, they are wearing masks and avoid crowding in large groups. Meetings with teachers and staff will need to be pre-arranged and done virtually, where possible.
