3月21日の規制解除について

明日3月21日、日本でもまん延防止等重点借置が全面解除されるそうですが、カナダ・ノバスコシア州でもまたPhase3に入ることになり、マスクの着用の義務付け等が緩和されるのですが、公立学校においては校内及びスクールバス等でのマスクの着用を当面(数週間程度)促すとのことです。

学校での音楽の授業やクラブ活動、トーナメント等も開催できるようになります。

しかし今後も、体調が優れない時には登校はせず、家で休むようにして下さい。個々に体調管理を行うようお願いします。

以下、スクールボードからの連絡です。

Families,

Today, Premier Tim Houston and Dr. Robert Strang announced that, out of an abundance of caution, masks will be mandatory in public schools, and on school buses, for a few more weeks starting on March 21, 2022.

HRCE Central Office/building staff and visitors must also continue to wear a mask during this time.

What will next week look like?

In public schools, staff and students will follow the updated guidance in the Back to School Plan, including the following:

  • Masking for staff, students and visitors remains in place for a few more weeks during school hours and on school buses

  • Visitors and spectators will need to wear masks in schools during school instructional hours for a few more weeks

  • Staff and students are asked to follow core public health measures such as getting vaccinated if eligible, staying home if feeling unwell, following the COVID-19 Daily Checklist, washing and sanitizing hands frequently

  • Music, band, arts and sports in schools can resume in full

  • Tournaments, concerts and extracurricular activities are permitted

  • Planning for graduation can proceed

All other changes to Public Health restrictions/guidance that we shared with staff and families on March 10, 2022 will remain in place.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher or principal.

Enjoy your weekend. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next week!
